Enhanced mobility services (2018-19)
Project outcomes
Sponsored by Transurban
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has been suggested as the ultimate outcome of the future automated and integrated transport network. This project will build on work currently underway to determine what role Transurban could be playing in the MaaS environment to further support our vision of “strengthening communities through transport”. This will involve exploring the latest technology and trends in the transport sector to develop a prototype Mobility Service for Transurban customers. The project will require a passion for improving customer experience, data analytics to help drive decision making, commercial assessment of new ventures, project management, mobile app development and the use of human centred design skills.

Transurban
Unless you’re following the Australian Stock Exchange, the name Transurban might be a bit of a mystery. Have you ever driven along CityLink in Melbourne, the Eastern Distributer in Sydney, or crossed over the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane? If yes, that’s us! You have driven on a Transurban owned and operated road. Across the world our company owns and operates 16 toll roads, and we are currently building more! We’re worth about $26 billion on the open market and we’re a leader within the transport infrastructure space. Even though that all sounds pretty big, we’re actually relatively small in head count. We have about 2000 people in our team spread across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane
