Problem statements

Our initial tranche of Problem Statements can be downloaded below. These Problem Statements were developed by our Research Communities of Practice in alignment with Transport’s Strategic Research Directions and Future Transport Strategy 2056.

If you are a researcher from a tertiary institution, and you would like to partner with Transport on any of these Problem Statements, please read more about registering your interest and completing a Response to Problem Statement.

All problem statements listed below are open for collaboration with researchers from tertiary institutions. Once the problem statements have been picked up, the problem statement will be moved to our Research projects page.

Further tranches of our Problem Statements will be loaded onto the Research Hub as they are developed by our RCoPs.
