Projects
The Smart Transport and Roads portfolio comprises a number of projects which are developing novel technologies in the following areas (click for more information):

 

Sensing Cooperative Mobility Control Decision Support and Incident Management


Low cost, pervasive traffic sensing including vehicle classification, incident detection. Transport infrastructure structural health monitoring.

 
Dedicated short range communications (DSRC) enabling low cost traffic control communications and vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure integration for cooperative mobility.
Machine learning and constraint programming technologies will deliver model-based traffic control for greater traffic efficiency and environmental improvements.

Multimodal user interface technology and cognitive load management will revolutionise control room decision support and incident management.

 

NICTA's research is being undertaken in close collaboration with traffic systems engineers and control room operations staff of the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (the RTA). The RTA is the owner/developer/marketer and user of the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System, SCATS, one of the world's leading adaptive traffic control systems.

The Australian Technology Park in Sydney is home not only to NICTA's largest research laboratory  but also to the RTA's New South Wales Traffic Management Centre and Traffic Systems branch.
