Talk Description
Institution: Victorian Department of Transport and Planning - VIC, Australia
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) have emerged as a promising step-change technology for the transport landscape, offering enhanced road safety, reduced congestion and supporting sustainable transport solutions.
For the purpose of the ITS Summit, the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) are seeking to present our objectives and reasoning for the largest urban trial of C-ITS technology at 30 intersections in Carlton, Melbourne, conducted in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, AIMES.
The trial, set to span two years, aims to establish a step forward for a safer, more efficient, and sustainable transport system for Victoria and Australia. By leveraging C-ITS technology, road users and infrastructure can seamlessly communicate, providing real-time information on road conditions, traffic flow, and critical safety data. Through this trial, DTP seeks to gather valuable insights on the effectiveness of C-ITS in a real-world setting to inform national harmonisation of C-ITS standards.
Building upon prior trials conducted throughout Australia, DTP will utilise AIMES, a live testbed in Carlton, to demonstrate the potential of C-ITS technology. DTP is collaborating with industry partners including automotive manufacturers, telecommunications companies, and transportation technology providers to enrich the trial and provide better insights into market options for C-ITS.
The trial represents DTP's commitment to developing intelligent transport systems that align with national initiatives, such as the National Land Transport Technology Action Plan and Austroads C-ITS implementation taskforce. Through data-driven insights, this trial will enable evidence-based policy decisions, promoting the adoption of transformative intelligent transport solutions.
