Program Overview

Urbanisation is one of the biggest problems effecting the transport sector. With the demand for passenger mobility rapidly increasing, smart technologies and availability of better information and data will have a major impact on the evolution of safety, communication and connectivity for commuters.

The Future Transport inquiry challenges students to investigate and consider transport issues that exist within their community. Students design an innovation that improves traffic and transport experience for users by ensuring safety and real time information communication, with the use of smart technologies/sensors.

This program has been developed in partnership with the North East Link Project (biggest road transport project in Victoria’s history), who’s experts have been involved in numerous consultations and shaping of the program content.

As part of the program, students have an opportunity to learn about infrastructure and transport of the future, consider a range of careers that could lead to working in the transport industry, and conduct interviews and surveys in their local community to identify user needs and understand the context in which the issues exist.
