September 2017: Future Travel

A very interesting seminar was held on 12 September 2017. About 50 people attended to hear about how transport technologies are evolving.

Population and travel continues to grow but transport infrastructure is struggling to keep up.  Our expert presenters gave their views on the future of travel.

The speakers were:

A/Prof Hussein Dia – update on autonomous vehicle developments (see slides below)

John Cleeland – could podcars be part of the solution? (see slides below)

Justin Passaportis – the evolving role of car-sharing (link to slides)

This event was proudly hosted by Swinburne University, Smart Cities Research Institute.
