In  2015  she  together  with  Dr  Neville  Binning,  undertook  a  transport  opportunities  study  for
Parramatta Road in Sydney.  This work highlighted the emerging technologies of trackless trams and
Act
last mile transport that could lead  to transformational change  in  public transport.  Inspired by the
potential city shaping opportunities offered by the coalescence of advancements in energy, vehicle
autonomy,  ITS  and  communication  technologies  she  has  focussed  her  research  on  the  many
opportunities and associated issues including vehicle and network design, road design, place and land
development opportunities and funding options.

Presentation
Information
The Role of Trackless Trams in the Transport Revolution
There has been much interest in the concept of the ‘Trackless Trams’.  However, there is much more
for key decision‐makers to consider than the Trackless Tram vehicle itself.  This presentation discusses
both the  city shaping possibilities of new automated  transit systems and also the risks inherent in
Official
adopting new technologies.
Informed by studies, field trips and current trialling of the technology the presentation will cover in
brief the history of the trackless tram from rail and optical guided vehicles to level 4 autonomy. It
the
present for consideration the potential role integrated transit systems anchored by trackless trams
and supported by on‐demand vehicles, micro and active transit and communications and how these
could transform our cities from car dominated roadways into green interconnected living streets.
It looks at the lessons we have learned from earlier transport revolutions and from rubber tyred trams,
under
light rail and bus rapid transit.  It raises questions of design standards and interoperability, and how
to design these new systems so they are resilient and adaptive to the changes that will flow from the
coming autonomous transport revolution and emergent technologies.
