UNSW and French researchers will work with transport operators to optimise new 'on-demand' solutions to improve public transport congestion, economy and safety.

A research alliance to develop new 'on-demand' public transport solutions in Newcastle, using computer modelling and gamification approaches, will eventually see the four parties - UNSW, public transport giant Keolis, Keolis Downer and France's transport research institute IFSTTAR- expand applications internationally.

The LICIT (Traffic Engineering Laboratory) is a joint research unit of the French Institute of Science and Technology of Transport, Development and Networks (IFSTTAR) and France's École Nationale les Travaux State Public, or ENTPE (National Public Works State School). The LICIT has 270 staff, including 80 PhD students, spread over five sites, and brings together 11 labs offering a wide range of scientific disciplines: modelling, software engineering, automation, imaging, perception, information processing, electronics, experimental sciences and engineering as well as traffic , travel demand and socio-economic impacts of transport.
