Melbourne: Growth in private and public transport passenger kilometres since 2003 • Growth of public transport 50% • Growth of a culture of urbanism • Rise in fuel prices 40% • Reversal of urban sprawl • Ageing populations of cities 30% • Hitting the Marchetti wall 22% 20% 7% 10% 0% Private transport Public transport Population Sources: BITRE 2015 Yearbook; chart ingt ransport .com 7 Infrastructure challenges 75% of the infrastructure that will be in place by 2050 doesn't exist today. Most of that infrastructure will be transformative

The fourth dimension: No ordinary disruption Future of mobility: • Shared • On-demand Self-Driving Technologies • Electric • Autonomous (eventually!) Sharing Economy Vehicle Electrification (including tiny vehicles) Disruptive Mobility Underpinned by AI-based computational platforms Mobile and Cloud Blockchain where the mode of Computing transport will be a smart, self-moving device embedded in a digitalised eco-system.

  12. Impact on urban mobility? • Will they reduce or increase congestion? • Will they induce more demand for travel? • How will they impact VKT (per capita)? • Will they increase or decrease urban sprawl? • How will they impact urban form? • What impact will they have on parking? • Will they reduce or increase emissions? • How will they impact car ownership? 23 Image Credit : Adobe S t ock Melbourne Simulation Study Operational Includes parts of four different LGAs Area: 88.75 km 2 53 origins and destinations Simulation period: 07:00-09:00am

  14. Questions remain Text line What is the expected future demand? Dynamic estimation of travel demand • Machine learning to predict travel demand for shared vehicles • S hort forecasting horizons • Training deep neural networks using historical data How to improve vehicle rebalancing algorithms? Extend linear programming methods to address the fleet balancing problem • Include constraints on VKT • Bounded waiting times Image Credit : Adobe S t ock REGULATORY CHALLENGES Who (or what) is behind the wheel? 28

  15. BAIDU 29 Visual “ Turing Test” for verifying AI software Questions remain • How to license a “ deep neural network” software? • S hould it pass a benchmark test before it can be recognised as a legal driver? • Who should develop such a test and what should it include? • What procedures can be used to verify compliance? 30
