378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) has announced its support of a move by the Australian Government to award iMOVE Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) a US$41 million (AU$55 million) 10-year grant to develop future technologies for smart transport and mobility in Australia.


iMOVE CRC is a collaborative consortium of industry and technology innovators as well as government and academia. As part of the CRC, Cubic aims to address the lack of coordination between the various transport systems through the development of advanced multimodal transportation management solutions that can tackle complex and costly congestion.

The CRC is being established to help address the growing pressure on Australia’s transportation systems caused by population growth and aging infrastructure. Research and development outcomes are aimed at reducing congestion, enhancing freight productivity and creating a more seamless multimodal travel experience for passengers.
