Professor Geoffrey Rose
Professor Geoff Rose is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, having retired from his full time role in 2022 after nearly 30 years with Monash University. For more than half that time he was the Director of the Monash Institute of Transport Studies and during that period oversaw the development and delivery of Australia’s first on-line Master of Transport and Traffic degree which contributed to the professional development of staff in many transport agencies and consulting firms around Australia. Geoff’s research interests continue to cover cycling, walking, travel demand management and sustainable transport policy. He is continuing to serve as a co-supervisor on PhD projects related to shared e-scooters and is active in research exploring the uptake and regulatory policies associated with a range of micromobility devices including e-bikes and e-scooters.

Past projects
Safer cycling and the urban road environment
The proposed study is the first comprehensive study in Australia that combines academic, government and community efforts to enhance cycling activity while addressing safety concerns. The study takes an innovative, multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the issues contributing to cyclist injury with a particular focus on the urban road environment. The proposed study will develop new road designs which will improve the urban cycling experience. Australia’s first cycling simulator (BikeSim) will be built as part of this study and will be used to safely evaluate the new road prototypes which will be designed to improve cyclist safety and maintain the efficiency and mobility of vehicles.

A systemic model to underpin enhanced management of powered-two-wheelers as part of a safe, sustainable transport system
While traditionally viewed as a road safety problem, powered-2-wheelers (i.e. motor scooters and motorbikes) potentially offer a range of mobility and environmental benefits. This research will deliver an evidence base to underpin effective management of the outcomes associated with the use of P2Ws in urban areas. The research will help to address the significant economic, social and environmental problems associated with urban transport. A key feature of the approach to be employed in this project is that it facilitates engagement of the industry participants as co-researchers in the process of developing and applying a policy sensitive model to explore the consequences of alternative strategies for managing P2W use.
EcoDrive as a road safety tool for Australian conditions
Eco Drive initiatives encourage drivers to modify their driving style to conserve fuel. Overseas results suggest a reduction in crashes can also be achieved. This project will critically examine past evaluations and recommend an Eco Drive model suitable for Australia.
