The Ipswich Connected Vehicle Pilot brought connected vehicle technology to the City of Ipswich between mid-2020 and mid-2021. At the time, the pilot was the largest on-road testing trial of connected vehicles and infrastructure to be undertaken on public roads in Australia. It was delivered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and partners with the user perception and safety evaluation research conducted by QUT .
The Ipswich Connected Vehicle Pilot aimed to test connected vehicle technologies on their potential to make roads safer and contribute towards the Queensland Government’s Safer Roads, Safer Queensland Road Safety Strategy vision of zero road deaths and serious injuries on the state’s roads.
