ITS Australia and the University of Melbourne are partnering with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communication; IAG; Intelematics; and Transmax on this iMOVE project supported by the Commonwealth Government to investigate connectivity enhancing safety and network efficiency.
Join us and the University of Melbourne to hear about the project and more on how connectivity could make a difference now and into the future.

Dr Patricia S. Lavieri
Lecturer in Transport / The University of Melbourne
At The University of Melbourne, Patricia conducts research on urban transport demand analysis and forecasting with an emphasis on travel behaviour modelling. She earned her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin (U.S), and her background includes qualitative and quantitative research methods, particularly in the field of econometrics and advanced discrete choice modelling.
Dr Lavieri’s current focus is on understanding the impacts of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and new transportation services and technologies –such as e-hailing, bikesharing, e-scooters, and automated vehicles– on people’s perceived accessibility and travel choices.
