Transport for NSW has partnered with leading industry, researchers, local councils and businesses to develop and codeliver a world first Automated Ride Share trial in Dubbo. The trial focuses on customer mobility use cases and investigates the benefits and challenges involved in introducing emerging connected and automated vehicle technology to NSW and the country. The trial will operate in real world environments and help the project partners develop scalable transport solutions that improve safety and mobility outcomes in regional Australia. In line with the NSW Government’s Future Transport 2056 Strategy the trial focuses on understanding how automated vehicles will operate as part of the integrated transport network, including the physical and digital infrastructure required to support their operation and the role of government in enabling customer focused commercial operations into the future.
