Visual field impairment and injury: A population-based study. This project aims to link a large-scale ophthalmic database of visual field tests to population-based injury data which includes police-reported crash data, hospitalisation, death and trauma data in people aged over 60 years. The identification of individuals with high risk visual fields will enable the development of targeted interventions at the local, national and international level to prevent injuries due to visual field loss.

This project aims to link a large-scale ophthalmic database of visual field tests to population-based injury data which includes police-reported crash data, hospitalisation, death and trauma data in people aged over 60 years. The identification of individuals with high risk visual fields will enable the development of targeted interventions at the local, national and international level to prevent injuries due to visual field loss. Significant benefits include a reduction in the number of injuries and consequent reductions in personal harm and health care demands.Read moreRead less
Unifying Traffic Modelling and Safety Management for Safer and Faster Roads. This project aims to balance road safety and efficiency as conflicting goals of transport systems mixed with connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). This project is expected to generate fundamental knowledge on operational algorithms and analytics for CAVs and develop innovative tools for operating them. Expected outcomes include ground-breaking models capable of the co-estimation of efficiency and safety impacts of CA ....Unifying Traffic Modelling and Safety Management for Safer and Faster Roads. This project aims to balance road safety and efficiency as conflicting goals of transport systems mixed with connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). This project is expected to generate fundamental knowledge on operational algorithms and analytics for CAVs and develop innovative tools for operating them. Expected outcomes include ground-breaking models capable of the co-estimation of efficiency and safety impacts of CAVs, and control strategies to safely and efficiently integrate CAVs into existing transport systems. This should provide significant safety and efficiency benefits that currently cost about 1160 lives and 1.25 billion hours of congestion per year, and make Australia better prepared for the connected and automated vehicle era.Read moreRead less
A real-time traffic signal system for safe and efficient intersections . Road traffic crashes result in 1,200 fatalities and another 36,500 injuries on Australian roads each year. Signalised intersections represent a high-risk node in a transportation network, but the current signal designs only consider efficiency but not safety. This project aims to unleash the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and integrate with the advanced extreme value models for proactive and efficient detection of cr ....A real-time traffic signal system for safe and efficient intersections . Road traffic crashes result in 1,200 fatalities and another 36,500 injuries on Australian roads each year. Signalised intersections represent a high-risk node in a transportation network, but the current signal designs only consider efficiency but not safety. This project aims to unleash the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and integrate with the advanced extreme value models for proactive and efficient detection of crash risk in real-time. Its innovations lie on developing a novel traffic signal control system balancing safety and efficiency of signalised intersections. The proposed real-time traffic signal system will fundamentally transform the intersection operation and lead to reductions of road fatalities, injuries and emissions.Read moreRead less
