Transport Strategy & Policy | Transit Oriented Development | Traffic Incident Management | ITS Research Facility
The University of Queensland places a high priority on the relevance of its research to industry and government needs. Transportation research, developed in consultation with transport agencies, is based on the principles of:
- developing industry oriented approaches, including tailoring best practice approaches to integrated transport, passenger transport, traffic and incident management, intelligent transport systems; including sustainable transport issues relating to economic, social, safety and environmental impacts
- progressing modelling and evaluation methodologies; test conceptual frameworks and demonstrate feasibility of approaches and set up a transport modelling and traffic simulation laboratory and research capability in cooperation with industry partners and other higher education institutions
- developing strategic alliances with other higher education institutions and transport research centres and maximising resources through leveraging resources through research grant schemes
UQ undertakes theoretical and applied research and has access to state-of-the-art computing facilities and software, including modelling software for micro-simulation, transport planning and artificial neural networks.
Strategy for Cooperative Research & Professional Development 2005-07 :: download [140KB PDF]
This strategy provides direction for research and professional development activities, for the purposes of developing research proposals, including funding proposals under grant schemes, and postgraduate study and preparing professional development programs and short courses.
Key areas of research
- Transport strategy & policy − development of strategic direction, frameworks for decision making, institutional development, public private partnerships, implementation of strategic plans & programs
- System Performance − evaluation frameworks, performance measurement, data
- Transport planning, systems modelling
- Transport operations − traffic and incident management, ITS, intelligent transport systems, advanced transport technologies
- Sustainable urban transport − mobility management, public transport, demand management, land use, transit oriented development
Research grants
There are a number of opportunities for leveraging research funding, including Australian Research Council research grant schemes (ARC Linkage-Project) and postgraduate scholarships (ARC APAI). Providing grants to UQ to provide scholarships with tax-free stipends are also available. Research grants can qualify as research taxation deductions. |
