Transport for NSW Research Hub

Our objective has always been to tackle some of transport’s biggest challenges so that we can deliver faster, easier and safer transport for everyone. But we know we can’t do it alone.

That’s why in June 2018 we launched the Transport for NSW Research Hub to a host of academic, government and industry partners. The Research Hub is all about taking a collaborative approach to research by engaging, innovating and sharing information with the tertiary sector, industry and other government agencies interested in transport-related research.

We have subsequently released 23 problem statements aligned with Transport’s Strategic Research Directions for collaboration with academic researchers, attracting responses from universities and their industry partners. This release has already resulted in collaborative research projects with Sydney Trains and Sydney Metro. We are also working with over 100 subject matter experts across the cluster on additional problem statements to publish.
 
To date, we have collaborated with and had strong support from a range of academic, government and industry partners including CSIRO/Data 61, iMOVE Cooperative Research Centre, Australian Postgraduate Research (APR) Internships, and several universities including University of Sydney, Monash University, Swinburne University, Griffith University, Western Sydney University, University of Wollongong, Macquarie University, and University of Technology Sydney, just to name a few.

“The Hub should help avoid unnecessary duplication of research efforts and facilitate the coordination of research activities to drive a leading-edge approach to mobility”
