ARC LP grant success

ARC Linkage Project Grant, $330,000, 2012-2015. Integrating Mobility on Demand in Urban Transport Infrastructures (iMoD). Chief investigators: S. Winter, M. Savelsbergh, M. Wallace, L. Kulik, R. Kotagiri, R. Thompson, C. Duffield.

Australia’s major cities are substantially challenged for public transport services due to the dispersed and low population densities, and thus, roads are at or beyond their capacity. Smarter demand-responsive public transport services are therefore needed. This project studies the viability of such a service under a variety of scenarios.
