Projects
The STaR portfolio comprises a number of projects which are developing novel technologies in the following areas (click for more information):

 
Sensing and Surveillance Cooperative Mobility Modelling and Control Decision Support and Incident Management

Low cost, pervasive traffic sensing, vehicle classification and incident detection.
Dedicated short range communications (DSRC) enabling low cost traffic control communications
and vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure integration.
Machine learning and constraint programming technologies will deliver model-based traffic control for greater traffic efficiency and environmental improvements.

Multimodal user interface technology and ve load management will revolutionise control room decision support and incident management.

 

NICTA's research is being undertaken in close collaboration with traffic systems engineers and control room operations staff of the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (the RTA). The RTA is the owner/developer/marketer and user of the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System, SCATS, one of the world's leading adaptive traffic control systems.

The Australian Technology Park in Sydney is home not only to NICTA's largest research laboratory  but also to the RTA's New South Wales Traffic Management Centre and Traffic Systems branch.
