Courses for Transport Professionals
Shaping the future of sustainable transport
Message from Professor Hussein Dia
Swinburne University of Technology
Hello everyone and welcome to the Future Transport Academy.
Here you can find a series of professional development courses aimed at empowering you to become a force for positive change in driving sustainable transport solutions and addressing the global challenges facing urban transport.
These courses will provide you with renewed thinking and fresh approaches to transform the concept of urban mobility and provide communities with improved sustainable solutions to meet their travel needs.
I developed these courses with a strong belief that urban mobility can be transformed in a sustainable and socially equitable direction for the benefit of future generations. I invite you to share this vision and let us work together to create a better world.
The courses offered through this Academy are suitable for participants from government transport and infrastructure departments, city councils, transport industry, consultancies and research organisations.
These courses are offered fully online. Each short course is around 12-18 hours and can be completed on-demand at your own pace and convenience.
Whether you take one or several courses, enrolment in the transport academy professional development courses offers you an opportunity to extend your expertise and shape the development of sustainable urban mobility solutions.
I invite you to enrol in the courses and look forward to supporting you on your professional development journey.
Decarbonising transport
Available now!
This course introduces the policy principles, pathways and solutions with the likelihood of greatest impacts in meeting transport emission reduction targets and achieving sustainable mobility in our cities.
The course presents best evidence of successful interventions and case studies which demonstrate the benefits to communities and urban environments.
Smart mobility
Available now!
This course analyses the trends surrounding disruptive mobility and how they are likely to influence the transport marketplace in the future.
Like many other industries, the transport sector is facing rapid changes in a fast paced environment of digital innovations.
By determining when and how to take advantage of these technologies, decision makers can benefit their communities through rapid improvements in adoption of smart urban mobility solutions.
Intelligent transport systems
Coming soon!
This course explores the role of advanced technologies in creating a positive impact on the safety, efficiency and environmental performance of transport systems.
Collectively known as Intelligent Transport Systems, these technology-driven transport solutions are cost-effective answers for enabling smart mobility outcomes.
When widely implemented, they will give our cities an opportunity to modernise their infrastructure and help drive economic growth and create jobs for the 21st Century.
Transport modelling
Coming soon!
This course explores how advances in transport modelling, artificial intelligence and data analytics can inform the assessment of economic, social and environmental impacts of mobility solutions and land-use transport interactions.
The course covers a hierarchy of modelling approaches used to inform decision making, manage urban growth and improve liveability in our cities.
The course also covers AI and machine learning applications in transport, and how they can be used to uncover underlying trends in data and provide new insights to improve the operation and resilience of transport systems.
