Summary
The Future of Urban Routing and Navigation. This project aims to develop new efficient techniques for mixed-initiative routing in large transportation networks. Current state-of-the-art techniques for real-world journey planning take user requirements as input and generate a few proposed journeys as output. However, the most useful decision-support systems are mixed-initiative: the Information Technology (IT) system and user work together to find the best decisions.

Current state-of-the-art techniques for real-world journey planning take user requirements as input and generate a few proposed journeys as output. However, the most useful decision-support systems are mixed-initiative: the Information Technology (IT) system and user work together to find the best decisions. In the context of journey planning, interaction with the user is needed to find the best combination of private, public and active transportation; understand trade-offs between cost, starting time, journey time, convenience and reliability; and react to delays and disruptions. This project aims to develop dynamic decision-support systems that will help travellers reach their destinations cheaper, faster and more conveniently.Read moreRead less

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

Summary
Understanding the automobility decisions of Australian millennials. The aim of this project is to understand the decision-making of young Australians regarding driver licensing and car travel. After decades of growth in car use, young adults are now becoming less likely to get a licence and drive cars. This reduction in car dependence provides an opportunity to reduce road deaths and injuries, road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.

The aim of this project is to understand the decision-making of young Australians regarding driver licensing and car travel. After decades of growth in car use, young adults are now becoming less likely to get a licence and drive cars. This reduction in car dependence provides an opportunity to reduce road deaths and injuries, road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding how and why young adults make decisions about their current and future car mobility could support this societal transformation and enhance sustainability and well-being.Read moreRead less
