Summary
Impacts of the apartment boom on public transport in Australian cities. This project aims to investigate the impacts of high density housing on public transport use and service provision to directly inform policy and practice. Recent growth in high density housing along public transport corridors is associated with overcrowded public transport services in Australian cities, yet this complex and interconnected relationship is not well understood. This project expects to generate new knowledge in ....Impacts of the apartment boom on public transport in Australian cities. This project aims to investigate the impacts of high density housing on public transport use and service provision to directly inform policy and practice. Recent growth in high density housing along public transport corridors is associated with overcrowded public transport services in Australian cities, yet this complex and interconnected relationship is not well understood. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the field of transport and land use integration and produce much needed cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence of the impacts of the apartment boom on public transport. Anticipated benefits include reduced overcrowding on public transport, improved travel choices and enhanced liveability in Australian cities.Read moreRead less
Personalised public transport. This project aims to address urban congestion by utilising people’s travel plans to coordinate journeys. The project expects to generate new knowledge in scalable optimisation, based on innovative modelling of urban transport, and tested on historical data from Melbourne. The expected outcomes of the project are an active transport database and optimised mode choice and routing system, with predicted reductions in congestion based on simulation of its use. This pro ....Personalised public transport. This project aims to address urban congestion by utilising people’s travel plans to coordinate journeys. The project expects to generate new knowledge in scalable optimisation, based on innovative modelling of urban transport, and tested on historical data from Melbourne. The expected outcomes of the project are an active transport database and optimised mode choice and routing system, with predicted reductions in congestion based on simulation of its use. This project aims to design an urban trip advisory system that could be followed by automated vehicles as well as human drivers, to reduce the financial and environmental cost of current urban congestion.Read moreRead less
