iMOVE is a consortium of 44 industry, government, and research partners engaged in a concerted 10-year effort to improve Australia’s transport systems through collaborative R&D projects. It will help companies — and Australia — be more competitive, productive, and prosperous. iMOVE and its participants will deliver research, outcomes and products to:
- reduce road congestion, fuel use, emissions, accidents and fatalities
- improve freight co-ordination
- improve productivity and international competitiveness
- improve lifestyle and wellbeing
ITS Australia as participants in the iMOVE CRC have undertaken to contribute $300,000 over a 10-year period work to develop and participate in projects that enable our industry to shape future transport.
As members, ITS Australia will consider projects to deliver on these goals and working with our members and the broader sector to identify research and related projects supporting a substantive step to reduce congestion, improve outcomes for communities and enable future transport opportunities.
Projects ITS Australia undertake will reflect our broad-based membership and remit to promote the development and deployment of advanced technologies to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable transport across all public and private modes: air, sea, road, and rail.
ITS Australia is a unique partner in the iMOVE CRC as the only not-for-profit member-based industry organisation and as such have a role to play in developing and partnering on projects that provide immediate support to challenges and uncertainties facing industry. This is particularly the case in areas where there is a need for national consensus and harmonisation and challenging stakeholder groups.
