C-ITS has the potential to accelerate the realisation of our goals to improve safety, productivity, mobility, and sustainability for Western Australians. The purpose of our C-ITS Roadmap is to establish our C-ITS Vision, C-ITS Deployment Strategy, and a short- to medium term roadmap with actionable steps to realise the benefits of C-ITS in WA. The Main Roads C-ITS Roadmap will support the implementation of a nationally harmonised C-ITS ecosystem across the Western Australian Road network to enhance safety, movement, regional resilience, and enable future vehicle technology. Over the next 3 – 4 years we will be concentrating on:
- Collaboration and Research – Collaborate with research bodies and industry to understand gaps and perform research and capture feedback to further national understanding.
- National Harmonisation – Participate in national efforts to develop a C-ITS implementation plan, monitor radiofrequency spectrum arrangements, develop a common Security Credential Management System (SCMS), C-ITS Central Station(s), and data framework.
- “Future Proofing” – Prepare for future vehicle technologies and set up foundational infrastructure for C-ITS deployment across WA over time.
- Proofs of Concept – Run a local testbed and/or test corridor(s) to develop readiness of C-ITS applications and identify any WA-specific needs.
- Capability Uplift – Provide opportunities for staff, working in conjunction with industry, to develop capabilities in systems engineering, data engineering, cloud systems, and ITS architecture to support business change required for C-ITS in WA.
- Systems Uplift – Identify and implement the changes required to the ITS environment to support C-ITS use case deployment.
- Data Quality and Management – Improve Road agency data to facilitate emerging C-ITS applications and in turn, improve availability and quality of ITS data.
