1 Outcomes from National Summit on Automated Vehicles (Aug 2016) Dennis Walsh (Austroads Chair, National Industry Reference Group - Connected and Automated Vehicles) 17 February 2017

2 Imperatives Safety Over 1,200 fatalities & 34k serious injuries p.a. (source: BITRE) Estimated $27 billion cost to community (source: NRSS) 1.25 million deaths worldwide each year Mobility Cost of congestion $13.7 billion in 2011, predicted to reach $53 billion in 2031 if no action (source: Infrastructure Aust) Sustainability Road transport contributes ~14% of total GHG (source: CCA)

3 The imperative for us to be ready. Australian states and territories have to be ready to support the safe deployment of partially automated vehicles on public roads before 2020, and highly automated and driverless vehicles within the ensuing decade. The Brisbane Summit, Aug Roads Australia 12 October 2016

4 Challenges Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in current land transport system will alter substantially Capability changes required Changes in private vehicle ownership and effect on allied industries and traditional revenue streams Alternatives to traditional public transport 4 Roads Australia 12 October 2016

5 Recommendations from Summit Achieve national consistency around regulation and operation Provide a responsive regulatory environment Design and operate networks to support safe use Harmonise internationally Establish ground rules required before market deployment Clear point of contact for market participants (regulation and operation) Policy and regulation that is flexible enough to accommodate changing technology Understand the value chain Fleet operators may desire to expand to network operations Governments to consider early their role how to protect and maximise the return from public assets through policy, regulation and pricing. MaaS, alternative fuels, reduced road trauma and impact on pricing and revenue Comprehensive transport and road pricing reform Early engagement with the community on practical benefits and value 5 Roads Australia 12 October 2016

11 Geoscience Australia SBAS Pilot Australian Government's National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) Capability - Geoscience Australia is leading a nation-wide test project of a SBAS (Space Based Augmentation System). An SBAS will overcome the current gaps in our mobile and radio communications and, when combined with on-ground operational infrastructure and services, will ensure that accurate positioning information can be received anytime and anywhere within Australia. The two-year project will test satellite positioning technologies which will provide accuracies of several decimetres and five centimetres respectively. GA is working with the CRC for Spatial Information on evaluating the effectiveness of an SBAS for Australia The project is funded through the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, and Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development - $12M. The project will see Australia join the USA, Europe, Russia, India and Japan who have all invested in infrastructure that delivers satellite-based corrections via an SBAS In early 2017, Geoscience Australia will call for organisations from a range of sectors to participate in the test-bed. 11

14 National Trials New South Wales Cooperative Intelligent Transport Initiative (CITI) trial of heavy vehicle safety applications using Cooperative ITS. Heavy Vehicle Priority Project trial of applications to provide heavy vehicle priority at signalised intersections. Smart Innovation Centre announced in 2016, planned to be a R&D hub for emerging transport technologies, including CAVs. Victoria ITS Grants Program includes project trialling CAVs in highway scenarios, C-ITS to support tram priority, and in-vehicle connected vehicle services using cellular communications. Road Safety Action Plan includes $10M action to trial connected and automated vehicle technologies. Bosch Highly Automated Driving Vehicle partnership with Transport Accident Commission (TAC), VicRoads and TMR. Queensland Cooperative and Automated Vehicle Initiative (CAVI) incorporates two main projects a large scale pilot of Cooperative ITS in Ipswich, and a smaller pilot of cooperative and highly automated vehicles driven on selected roads. South Australia Future Mobility Lab Fund a $10M program over three years for development, testing and demonstrations of CAV technology, connected V2V and V2I pilots and demonstrations, and research and development. Western Australia RAC Intellibus with the support of the WA State Government, RAC is trialling a fully driverless, fully electric shuttle bus in South Perth. Autonomous Heavy Vehicle Platooning Trial [2.8MB PDF] Main Roads WA is partnering with industry to launch a trial of autonomous heavy vehicle platooning. Northern Territory Driverless shuttle bus trial the NT government announced a six month trial of an EasyMile shuttle bus at the Darwin Waterfront during New Zealand Driverless shuttle bus trial Christchurch International Airport and HMI Technologies, with support from the Ministry of Transport and NZ Transport Agency are trialling a Navya electric shuttle bus at Christchurch Airport. Bluetooth in-car messaging trial the NZ Transport Agency, along with GO Rentals and HMI Technologies, is running a trial using Bluetooth technology to send real-time relevant, and localised, messages to visiting drivers.
