Background
The scholarship is offered as part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grant titled “A Novel Integrated Motorway Management System for Less Congested, More Reliable, and Safer Motorways”. Project partner organisations are: Queensland Transport Main Roads, Queensland Motorways, Vic Roads and IFSTARR in France. The project will develop an Integrated Motorway Management System as an alternative or adjunct to expensive new road infrastructure, to cost-effectively alleviate congestion pressure on Australian motorways and improve traffic throughput, travel time reliability and traffic safety.
