C-ITS has been proven to have the potential to provide significant safety benefits by detecting and providing advanced warning to drivers to prevent incidents and improve efficiency of transport networks. C-ITS needs alignment amongst governments and industry for harmonised deployment to realise these benefits in Australia.
Deploying C-ITS at scale in a real-world busy urban environment will allow assessment of benefits, deployment considerations and options, and provide recommendations that could support Australian’s road authorities’ adoption of C-ITS in a nationally harmonised manner. The research will primarily focus on short-range ITS-G5 technology, which is already installed in the AIMES testbed and in line with European standards, however long-range C-ITS will also be considered within the AIMES testbed and other road contexts.
This project involves uplifting around 30 intersections across five key corridors within the Australian Integrated Multimodal Ecosystem (AIMES) testbed (Melbourne, Victoria) with the advanced sensing and communication capability to continually transmit live information about traffic and safety for road users.
The research project is being led by the University of Melbourne and iMOVE. The project also has the support of the five largest state governments and the federal government. This national commitment is crucial and particularly significant following the endorsement by all jurisdictions last year of the Principles for a National Approach to C-ITS.
An ITS Australia project, in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities, and Regional Development (DITCRD), IAG, Intelematics, Transmax, and iMOVE Australia
