Transport@RMIT Network brings together transport researchers and educators with capabilities in policy and social research, modelling and spatial analysis, technology, big data, engineering and design.
We collaborate with public and private sectors to generate research that informs evidence-based policy and industry decision-making; directs data and technology to identify issues and understand behaviour; and helps exploit opportunities of emerging technologies.
This helps our collaborators plan, build, and govern transport systems to achieve healthy and sustainable urban development as well as responding to complex and changing regional and national economies.
Brings together policy, planning, social research, spatial analysis, data, and technology to identify transport challenges, evaluate solutions, and assess the impacts of policy interventions in complex urban contexts.
Integrates expertise in business, IT, logistics, engineering, science, planning, and policy to optimise freight flows, enhance supply chain collaboration, and support sustainable logistics in rapidly developing economies.
Focusses on research shifting transport behaviours from car dependence to the healthier more active modes including walking, cycling and use of public transport; measuring health, safety, and economic impacts of active transport, assessing city walkability and liveability for active transport; and policy and urban planning scenarios to encourage active transport uptake.
Explores emerging technologies and user-centred approaches using advanced data analytics, modelling, and sensing to develop efficient, personalised, and adaptive transport solutions.
Applies industrial, vehicle, and urban design expertise to create innovative and user-friendly transport systems, focusing on safety, functionality, and experience across various modes and environments.
Utilises spatial analytics, behavioural modelling, and social data insights to understand mobility patterns, forecast impacts, and inform transport planning and policy decisions.
