Fostering Industry Development

“ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”

Established ITS Applications

• Interoperable tolling tags

– Across Australia (toll roads in three states to date)

– Across Public and Private providers

– Telematics used to monitor heavy vehicle location, speed, mass and route compliance

“ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”

Established ITS Applications

• Managed motorways

– Replicating successful local investments over the last

decade, Australia will invest ~$120 million (AUD/USD) over the

next 3 years

– The program aims to retrofit urban arterial roads to better

manage traffic flows and deliver real-time information

– Sites are operating or being installed in Sydney and Melbourne,

with more under consideration in other cities

“ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”

Established ITS Applications

• Intelligent Access Program – Uses telematics to improve or enable heavy vehicle access to the

Road network

– Telematics used to monitor heavy vehicle location, speed, mass and route compliance

• Telematics to regulate heavy vehicle driver fatigue – Electronic Work Diaries

“ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”

Established ITS Applications

Connected mobility for motorists

– Live & predictive traffic data

across major capitals

– RACV Connected Vehicle app trial

• monitor your car remotely

• obtain alerts about mechanical issues

with your car

• get updates on live traffic conditions to

your favourite destinations

• find the cheapest fuel nearby

• Eco driving advice

Australian Trials • Australia is investigating a range of ‘newer’

freight ITS applications:

– C-ITS Pilot – a four year trial of a 42km route South

of Sydney aligned with US DOT Test Beds. Trial

would test Signal Phase and Timing, Weather

Warnings, Cooperative Intersection Collision

Avoidance, Reduced Speed Zone Warning and

Rest Area Alerts.

– Smart Rest Area Cooperative Intelligent Transport

System (C-ITS) Trial on Newell Highway

Infrastructure Implications • Australia is investigating a Road User Charge for heavy vehicles based

on mass, distance and location, instead of fuel

• Technology enables user pays

• Managed motorways / arterials

• Richer information to motorists

• Automatics Electronic Braking – safety & mobility impacts

“ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”

Melbourne to host the 2016 ITS World Congress:

• October 10 – 14, 2016

• 5,000+ ITS professionals from around the globe
