It encourages physical activity, reduces pollution, and enhances mental wellbeing, so why are people shunning public transport in favour of their cars?
If you believe the hype, we'll all get around in self-driving cars sometime in the future, but pinning our hopes on a still-developing technology to solve traffic congestion problems is a poor solution.
Vehicles of the future won’t just have batteries where the petrol tank used to be. They’ll also require a redesign of fundamental mechanical systems and their power dynamics.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
The recent TramLab collaboration examines the issues impacting safety and perceptions of safety for women and girls on Victorian public transport.
Researchers have devised a method of producing green ammonia with the potential to supersede the current century-old process.
Unlike, for instance, lawnmowers, you don’t just “plug in” a bus to a regular outlet – the charging equipment is sophisticated, extensive, and expensive.
The transport sector is Australia’s second-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. To reach net zero, we need to change modes of transport, infrastructure, and the design of our cities.
Public-space cameras are meant to make us feel safer, but women don’t always see them that way.
Music and public transport infrastructure might not seem a natural pairing, but for Adele McCarthy they’re the complementary bookends of a rich education.
This pandemic-grounded global trip-planner and software developer is using ‘downtime’ to mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Fear of contracting COVID-19, and a lack of physical distancing on public transport, is predicted to lead to a rise in car use once the pandemic passes.
There are ways we can move towards zero-emissions transport in a post-COVID-19 Australian economy.
Sustainably-produced ammonia may eventually replace fossil fuels for most of our energy needs.
A multidisciplinary research team is examining how we can translate what we know about public health contagion to develop safer public transport infrastructure.
COVID-19 raises new challenges for remote mining communities already compromised by fly-in-fly-out workers.
With the pandemic having slashed travel in Victoria, research is examining whether the government spending tens of billions on its transport agenda is a worthwhile investment.
In developing and conflict-affected countries, support systems for children’s protection in times of the pandemic risk being overlooked.
A research project aims to help Melbourne commuters make more efficient use of the existing road and transport network by tailoring individual journeys.
A water electrolysis breakthrough has huge potential to make hydrogen generation more economically viable.
The challenge of providing appropriate care to an ageing population means the rate of technological innovation needs to be stepped up and more smart homes created.
We know overcrowded public transport is a major deterrent to using it, but a Monash lab is working to change that.
