E-VeloCity aims to design sustainable, car-reduced urban networks by developing new mathematical modelling methodologies for reallocating street space to walking, e-bikes, and micromobility modes. The project will model the interactions of these modes, creating a novel urban network design framework for safe, efficient, and equitable mobility. By focusing on environmental sustainability and urban liveability, E-VeloCity will contribute to reducing transport emissions and enhancing accessibility for all. The outcomes will offer practical solutions for city planners and policymakers to create resilient, low-emission urban environments that support Australia’s net-zero carbon targets.","funding-current":1270197.00,"funding-at-announcement":1243232,"investigators-current":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Meead","familyName":"Saberi","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-6526-239X "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Meead","familyName":"Saberi","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-6526-239X "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"The University of New South Wales","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"The University of New South Wales","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"3509","name":"Transportation, Logistics and Supply Chains","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"350908","name":"Road Transportation and Freight Services","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"270301","name":"Active Ground Transport","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["China (excludes SARs and Taiwan)","Hong Kong (SAR of China)"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"E-VeloCity directly addresses Australia’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and achieving net-zero targets by 2050. This project will optimise street space allocation to promote car-reduced urban networks, focusing on walking, e-bikes, and micromobility modes. As the transport sector accounts for 19% of Australia’s emissions, this research will significantly contribute to emission reductions by decreasing reliance on private vehicles and enhancing sustainable travel options. Additionally, it will improve urban liveability, reduce congestion, and provide equitable mobility options for all Australians, including disadvantaged communities. E-VeloCity aligns with the Australian government’s science and research priorities in net-zero transport, providing innovative models that can be applied in cities across the nation. The project's outcomes will support city planners and policymakers in designing low-emission, future-proof urban spaces, reducing infrastructure costs while boosting economic productivity. By addressing pressing environmental and social challenges, E-VeloCity ensures a more sustainable, healthy, and equitable future for Australian cities, fostering national and global leadership in sustainable urban mobility solutions."}}}
