rCITI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE <3>

 Director’s Report I am delighted to report that the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI) has performed exceptionally well throughout 2013. As Centre Director, I am proud of the significant accomplishments we realized in central areas this year towards our centre goals. Of particular note are our funding success and opportunities for collaboration: We have been awarded two Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Projects and established a substantial partnership with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) for funding over three years. In addition, we continued and further expanded our relationships and collaboration with key partners including Evans & Peck, NICTA, inter-disciplinary researchers across Campus as well as with researchers, Government and industry, both nationally and internationally. We are grateful for the continued support we receive and for the research opportunities, allowing us to explore and act on the identified scope for contribution to transportation research. Our ongoing research work includes projects such as the “Identification and Evaluation of Transformative and Environmental Applications and Strategies”, a major initiative of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT). rCITI is leading the network modelling component of this research and will develop novel network evaluation methodologies for active traffic management where environmental impact is the primary issue. The full deployment of the Travel Choice Simulation Laboratory (TRACSLab) is also underway. This proposal was awarded an ARC LIEF grant and will be a world-first facility to observe collective travel choice in a realistic lab environment. It is unique due to the focus on travel choice, networked interaction and strong teaming (including our partners at the University of Sydney and iCinema). The findings of the lab will support a new generation of transport analysis techniques for emerging issues such as sustainability, reliability, and intelligent transport systems (ITS).

rCITI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE <4>

Another essential achievement is the introduction of transport curriculum initiatives for next year. Two new courses and a Masters Specialization in Transport will be on offer from 2014. This augments another stepping stone for rCITI and the Centre’s contribution to transportation research at the University. On behalf of the rCITI team, I thank the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering for their support with this crucial task. We were also able again to conduct and disseminate important novel research, for example at major conferences such as TRB Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, Washington, USA), HICSS (Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences), the International Conference of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) and the NSW Transport Infrastructure Summit in Sydney. At this occasion, I am extending a warm welcome to our new staff members who have joined us this year. rCITI has expanded its core team with international researchers whose expertise complements our interdisciplinary efforts in transportation research. rCITI’s achievements also reflect the need and opportunity for further collaboration and research in future, in order to be able to transition core research into usable tools and solutions. As we look forward, I would like to re-emphasize rCITI’s mission of becoming a world-leading organization in integrated interdisciplinary transport research and development. Our overarching aim is to be a major contributor and facilitator to shaping the global research field of integrated transport systems and ultimately attaining safe, efficient and sustainable transport for society. Relevant interdisciplinary research and continuous liaison with Government and industry, all on a global level, form the foundation for rCITI’s mission and the realization of substantial contributions. This has been a major year for rCITI and I sincerely thank all supporters and the centre’s dedicated and excellent staff. I am looking forward to 2014 and the real opportunities lying ahead of us. S. Travis Waller Evans & Peck Professor of Transport Innovation and Director, Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI)

 Overview Overview 2013 In 2013 the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI) continued to expand and strengthen its collaborative network with other schools across the UNSW campus, with relevant government and industry groups. The core Academic team supervised and supported 13 Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), 3 Masters by Course work and 1 Masters by Research, 1 Taste of Research and 16 Honours students. In addition, rCITI hosted two Practicum Exchange Program students from University of Connecticut, USA and Harbin Institute of Technology, China. The School of Civil & Environmental Engineering curriculum reviews were attended by Professor Waller and the Transport group. They were charged with the developing and implementing new transport courses and program initiatives, so that two new transport courses and one new Masters Transport Specialization stream could be offered to students from 2014.

Significant achievements for 2013 include:QQ On the 28 June 2013 it was announced that UNSW Australia was awarded $13.2 million in Linkage Project grants from the Australian Research Council (ARC). This was highest level of funding in the state and the second highest in the country. rCITI was successful in winning funding for two of the thirty-five UNSW projects proposals. rCITI’s winning projects will focus on the optimisation of urban transport. 1. The first ARC Linkage Grant was won by investigators from rCITI at UNSW Australia, ITLS at the University of Sydney and industry partner Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) Australia (one of the main transport software vendors globally), to conduct research on the “Methodologies for the Incorporation of Congestion Propagation and System Reliability into Transport Network Models for Consistent Multi-Scale Planning”. The project will look to improving the capabilities of transport planning techniques. Specifically, new methods are to be introduced which improve the realism of regional congestion modelling as well as the mathematical representation of traveller decision-making, thereby permitting an improved long-term transport plan.

Government organisations have expressed interest in this particular project and are involved in project meetings to discuss potential collaboration. 2. The second Linkage Grant was won by investigators from rCITI at UNSW Australia and industry partner GoGet Carshare to conduct research on the “Integrating Network Modelling with Observed Choice Data for Multi-Criteria Optimization of Complex Carshare Systems: Cost, Mobility and Transit Usage”. The aim of this research is to develop methods to determine an efficient carshare system, which includes optimal location, one-way carsharing, and how carshare influences the broader transport system. By adopting such new comprehensive methods, the overall transport system will benefit through potential improvements in public transit usage. QQ The signing of a three year partnership with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) with a budget $1.5 million. After ongoing meetings and scoping of potential collaboration, Professor Waller was notified by Mr Les Wielinga, Director General of Transport for NSW (TfNSW), that TfNSW agreed to enter into a three-year collaboration with funding to rCITI of $500,000 per year. This project will involve close ongoing interaction between researchers and students from rRCITI at UNSW and TfNSW to conduct research on the topic “Develop and Deploy Novel Integrated Network Techniques to Enhance the NSW Transport System”.

 Selected Centre Highlights & Research Projects Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage, Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) Grants The Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage, Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) Scheme provides funding for research infrastructure, equipment and facilities to eligible organisations. The scheme enables higher education researchers to participate in cooperative initiatives so that infrastructure, equipment and facilities can be shared between higher education organisations as well as with industry. The scheme also fosters collaboration through its support of the cooperative use of international and national research facilities. The objective of the LIEF scheme is to a) encourage institutions to develop collaborative arrangements among themselves, across the higher education sector and with organisations outside the sector, in order to develop research infrastructure; b) support large-scale cooperative initiatives involving two or more institutions, thereby allowing expensive facilities to be shared; and c) enhance support for areas of research strength. The rCITI research team were awarded an ARC grant for Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) starting in 2013 to fund the study of a TRAvel Choice Simulation LABoratory (TRACSLab): A visualisation laboratory to study travel behaviour and drivers’ interactions This project will establish innovative new facilities that will assist in the re-design of fundamental choice assumptions needed to support emerging transport issues such as sustainability, reliability and ITS. The TRACSLab (networked driving simulators combined with traffic modelling and collective interaction) represents a unique world-first facility for comprehensive analysis of travel choice. The TRACSLab (i) focuses on collective travel choice (ii) allows for group interaction through networking and (iii) the involvement of researchers across multiple inter-disciplinary boundaries dedicated to the research of travel choice, econometrics, experimental economics, visualization and transport network analysis. Our partners include ITLS at the University of Sydney and ICinema at UNSW.

Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grants ARC Linkage Projects scheme works to benefit the broader Australian community by funding collaborative research projects between the University and industry, government or community organisations. The scheme is designed to support projects that are of strategic value to end-users and will help advance the development of innovative solutions to current problems.

Linkage Project 1 - “Methodologies for the Incorporation of Congestion Propagation and System Reliability into Transport Network Models for Consistent Multi-Scale Planning”: This project will include researchers from rCITI at the UNSW Australia, The Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) at the University of Sydney and a leading transport software company, TSS - Transport Simulation Systems Australia which will develop the reseasrch to improve the capabilities of transport planning techniques. It will endeavour to use new methodologies such as:(i) the enhancement of macroscopic time-invariant regional modelling to represent congestion effects more realistically; (ii) the review of new behavioural model accounting for reliability and strategic traveller decision-making; (iii) time-variant transport network model incorporating the new behavioural approach; and (iv) methodologies for obtaining consistency between the models since professionals often use multiple models in cooperation for different aspects of transport planning. The desired outcome of this research is to develop research that will discover new derived techniques, formulations and solution algorithms for the noted problems.

rCITI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE <17>

Linkage Project 2 - “Integrating Network Modelling with Observed Choice Data for Multi-Criteria Optimization of Complex Carshare Systems: Cost, Mobility and Transit Usage”: This project will include researchers from rCITI at UNSW Australia and GoGet Carshare. The aim is to promote the research of novel integrated network models incorporating observed choice and stated preference data to develop a multi-criteria optimization of complex carshare systems considering broad system impacts (e.g., public transit usage). Providing opportunity’s to enable the rigorously addressing of carshare operational design with the goal of achieving both organizational as well as system-wide societal benefits. (e.g., Fuel efficiency, cheaper insurance, improved safety) The desired outcomes from this research is the development of new methodologies obtained from the incorporation of complete carshare data with formal transport planning models and data benefiting the community and the broader transport system

Other Research Project(s): “Quantifying the Spatiotemporal Energy Consumption Patterns and of Electric Vehicles in Regional Transport Networks.” Principal Investigator: Dr Lauren Gardner Granting Organisation: UNSW Engineering Faculty Research Grant / Early Career Researcher Grants Program Project Summary: Future potential plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) usage requires that long-term transport planning models expand to explicitly account for relevant system impacts from this alternative vehicle technology. The integration of PEVs into the transport system will impact not only the transport system, but also regional energy providers who will need to incorporate mobile energy use into their traditional stationary demand models. Vehicle level energy consumption patterns must be modelled in order to accurately predict the spatiotemporal demand levels, as well as sustainability metrics, such as environmental impact. However, the uncertain nature of PEV adoption as well as their cross-cutting characteristics will require new techniques for modelling PEV traveller behaviour, which is necessary to compute the mobile energy consumption. This project addresses these items through the development and implementation of novel traffic assignment modelling tools. Furthermore, an evaluation framework to examine multiple performance measures (e.g., travel time, energy consumption) under a range of future scenarios regarding the integration of PEVs into the transport system is established. Project Outcome: The project resulted in two journal papers and four international conferences proceedings at which related research was presented. The conferences include the 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2013, the 92nd and 93rd Annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C, and the 36th ATRF Conference in Brisbane, QLD, 2013. Additional related research topics have evolved and are still ongoing.
