Novel statistical analysis for traffic modelling. This collaborative research with Queensland Main Roads aims to develop and apply novel statistical modelling techniques which improve on the current statistical methods used for transport modelling. The research outcomes will provide a high level of accuracy in terms of predictions for trips leading to better use of expensive survey data. Predictions will be incorporated into transport models.

This collaborative research with Queensland Main Roads aims to develop and apply novel statistical modelling techniques which improve on the current statistical methods used for transport modelling. The research outcomes will provide a high level of accuracy in terms of predictions for trips leading to better use of expensive survey data. Predictions will be incorporated into transport models. Such model will be used for improving decisions involving multi billion dollar transport infrastructure investment and applied to South East Queensland. The methods can be extended to transport models for other large conurbations in Australia. Outcomes include improved transport systems with economic benefits for business and the community.

Developing Contemporary Driving Risk Assessment Tools to Improve Fleet Safety. The development of effective driving risk management tools will provide valuable insight into methods to reduce a significant community and national problem, as work-related road crashes cost Australia $15 billion a year. Importantly, the project has the potential to benefit both urban and rural areas of Queensland and Australia, as road crashes are a national problem. The research study also has the potential to cr ....Developing Contemporary Driving Risk Assessment Tools to Improve Fleet Safety. The development of effective driving risk management tools will provide valuable insight into methods to reduce a significant community and national problem, as work-related road crashes cost Australia $15 billion a year. Importantly, the project has the potential to benefit both urban and rural areas of Queensland and Australia, as road crashes are a national problem. The research study also has the potential to create business cost savings from reductions in productivity loss and medical expenses, as well as flow through to the general population in terms of better (a) fleet management, and (b) driver attitudes and behaviour.Read moreRead less
Mixture models for high-dimensional clustering with applications to tumour classification, network intrusion, and text classification. This project will benefit the Australian Society as a whole by developing statistical methodology for the clustering of high-dimensional data. In particular, it will develop a novel and efficient model for extracting useful information from subpopulations. It thus has wide applicability to improving the quality and validity of applied research in most industries ....Mixture models for high-dimensional clustering with applications to tumour classification, network intrusion, and text classification. This project will benefit the Australian Society as a whole by developing statistical methodology for the clustering of high-dimensional data. In particular, it will develop a novel and efficient model for extracting useful information from subpopulations. It thus has wide applicability to improving the quality and validity of applied research in most industries in Australia. More specifically, it is to be applied here to classify brain tumours and detect network intruders. This cross-disciplinary project will contribute to Australia's economic of public health, protect Australia from crime, and strength Australian researchers' capacity and capability of participating in this emerging science.Read moreRead less

This project will advance scientific discovery through the development of an integrated, user-friendly computational grid. It significantly enhances Queensland's research capability and infrastructure by delivering state-of-the-art computational resources to researchers at the collaborating institutions and other Queensland and Australia researchers. New supercomputer systems will be integrated into a Queensland wide computational grid being developed by the Queensland Parallel Supercomputing Foundation - an initiative supported by the Queensland State Government. New grid technologies will be employed so that the highest level of support is provided to researchers. This ensures that the facility is used effectively, allowing high-quality research to be efficiently conducted.Read moreRead less
