• CSIRO is building the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) precursor telescope to demonstrate
• Australia’s technological capacity to host the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), one of the world’s largest and most ambitious science projects ever devised.
• Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) developments throughout the world are being enhanced by Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which promises to dramatically save lives and reduce injuries. An Australian company is a key player in international field trials in this rapidly emerging area. www.ausdsrc.com.au
• Cooperative Transport Systems (CTS) solutions will reduce road fatalities, address traffic congestion, minimise CO2 emissions, increase people’s mobility and enhance transport system efficiency.
