Submission to draft Rail Safety Code of Practice - Level Crossings and Train Visibility
Engineers Australia supports the commitment to improving level crossing safety, by improving illumination and visibility of trains, and calls for the code to be mandatory and implemented as soon as possible.
Submission to the inquiry into the transition to electric vehicles
The task of decarbonising the transport sector is urgent and Engineers Australia commends the government for focussing on this important element of the energy transition. In this submission we call for measures to address the upfront costs of EVs and the availability of charging infrastructure, among other factors.
Australian New Vehicle Efficiency Standard submission
Engineers Australia supports the introduction of a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) and provides advice for Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts on the proposed options for implementing the standard.
Keeping Hobart Moving submission
The Transport Australia society and Engineers Australia give feedback on the Keeping Hobart Moving – Transport Solutions for Our Future draft plan.
Engineers Australia and Transport Australia society submission train lighting and visibility
Engineers Australia and the Transport Australia society have co-authored this submission with the aim to improve safety on road and railways for all Australians.
Urban Transport Systems Report (August 2023)
This paper has been developed by Engineers Australia’s Transport Australia Society (TAs) to provide expert advice to governments, policy makers and other stakeholders with a role in policy, planning, operating and delivery of Australia’s urban transport systems.
Fuel efficiency standard submission
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication and the Arts has conducted a consultation on the key elements of an Australian Fuel Efficiency Standard. This is an important initiative to cut costs and reduce the carbon pollution from Australia’s cars and light commercial vehicles. This consultation builds on the work done in developing the National Electric Vehicle Strategy to which Engineers Australia also made a submission.
Engineering a resilient and sustainable rural, regional and remote road network
Engineers Australia's submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Regional Development, Infrastructure and Transport, calls on knowledge from Engineers Australia's position on climate change to make recommendations that highlight the growing importance of the regional road network in a heating climate.
The future of transport discussion paper
With contributions from future of transport working group members this paper discusses pathways to a sustainable, decarbonised transport network including looking at transport though a systems view and enabling greater collaboration for project planning and funding.
Universal design for transport - TAS discussion paper
Future of rail transport
This paper calls for increased use of rail in Australia’s land transport system. It aims to enable policy makers, delivery agencies, investors, operators and the public to better understand the land transport situation and scenarios where rail can play a larger role, develop strong visions for national land transport effectiveness and mobility goals, and establish timelines for delivering major changes in our national mobility systems.
Urban transport systems
The discussion paper is intended to give guidance to policy makers and other stakeholders in planning and delivering Australia’s Urban Transport Systems (UTS). The scope includes changes to the transport systems themselves and associated investment and decision-making processes.
Creating Better Connections for Queenslanders
Climate change and transport
This discussion paper is intended to give practical guidance to transport professionals on how they should incorporate consideration of climate change into their work. It should be seen as a statement of principles and objectives and does not replace or supersede engineers’ obligations under other engineering guidelines and standards.
Maritime transport
This document aims to improve marine transport infrastructure and services in Australia. It is intended to inform discussion in relation to the important issues and challenges faced in the industry currently and to ensure the industry has the capacity and capability to efficiently harness future growth opportunities from new and expanded industries.
Road safety
This discussion paper is intended to inform discussion to reduce the massive social and economic impact of road crashes.
Mobility as a service (MaaS)
This paper is intended to inform discussion on the potential role of MaaS in improving transport system efficiency and creating a seamless travel experience.
Autonomous vehicles
This discussion paper provides insights and recommendations for the planning and integration of Connected Vehicles (CV), Automated Vehicles (AV) and Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV) in our transport systems and services.
