All levels of government need to work together to plan and invest in transport services and infrastructure that will improve public transport, reduce road congestion and vehicle emissions, improve national productivity and international competitiveness, and reduce air and noise pollution. The ATRC will enable researchers to analyse and model the impact of potential policy changes and planning decisions on transport and travel behaviour, allowing more informed decision making. The platform will provide integrated access to a range of high quality datasets (ABS Census and Journey to Work datasets, State Household Travel Surveys, National Road network datasets, real time traffic and public transport data, people flow data, public transport timetable data, and de-identified smart travel card datasets) and transport network analysis and simulation tools.
