A new intelligent transport trial in Sydney is testing vehicle-to-infrastructure technology to enhance road safety. Self-driving vehicles in Chippendale interact with traffic lights using SCATS technology. The Cit-e software provides real-time data to prevent violations and protect road users. This technology, developed by the University of Sydney, may be commercially available soon. The trial showcased at the ITS Summit aims to improve safety and reduce congestion. NSW aims to lead in smart car innovation and road safety. Transport for NSW collaborates with Sydney University and iMOVE to prepare for automated driving. This trial builds on the success of SCATS, a globally acclaimed traffic signal control system. These trials help NSW adapt to emerging technologies for a safer and efficient transport network.
