en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swinburne University of Technology and Geotab have jointly established the Geotab-Swinburne Transport Innovation Center, Australia's first research institution dedicated to intelligent telematics systems and connected transportation.

Located at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus, the center aims to provide a collaborative platform for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to jointly address challenges facing Australia's transport infrastructure, including congestion, transport reliability, and connectivity.

The center will focus on AI-driven transport innovation and research, leveraging transport data, telematics technology, and intelligent mobility systems to develop practical solutions. According to Swinburne, this positioning will help the transport industry adapt to the rapid changes brought about by AI and data.

Professor Hadi Ghaderi, Director of the center, stated that the transport industry faces immense pressure to adapt to technological change while improving productivity, safety, and sustainability. This collaboration will provide a platform for industry and researchers to collaborate, test new ideas, and use data to address relevant challenges.

The center will also promote workforce development by integrating industry technologies and research into education and training programs. Students and researchers will have access to Geotab's global telematics platform to work with real-world transport data, addressing key issues in urban mobility, safety, and sustainability, directly cultivating graduates proficient in advanced telematics technologies.

Neil Cawse, Founder and CEO of Geotab, noted that the transport industry is undergoing significant transformation driven by artificial intelligence, connected vehicles, and sustainability goals. He stated that combining Geotab's real-world data with Swinburne's research expertise helps accelerate smarter, safer, and more sustainable transport outcomes based on Australia's actual distances, infrastructure, and operational realities, while preparing the next generation of industry leaders.
