For a research centre completely dedicated to transport infrastructure research, it makes sense that a close bond would be formed with the government organisation in charge of the state’s transport network. That’s exactly what has occurred with a recent collaboration with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) that aims to enhance the planning and management of the NSW integrated transport system.

Through the partnership, rCITI will develop and incorporate world-leading methodologies on intermodal regional dynamic network analysis, closely interact with and train agency staff, employ university students in hands-on project activities, and create the next generation of analysis techniques to benefit the NSW's transport system and subsequently all of the travelling public.

The project was conducted over a 3 year period with four specific applications, each of which relies on specific research, training and project implementation activities.

• Application 1 - corridor travel time prediction
• Application 2 - regional dynamic transport network modelling for planning
• Application 3 - sub-network travel time prediction (follows Application 1)
• Application 4 - robust network-wide prediction modelling which incorporates daily volatility (follows Application 2)
