In Sydney's Darling Harbour, a collaborative initiative by Lexus Australia leverages C-ITS and AVs to enhance urban mobility, focusing on safety and inclusivity for the elderly and disabled. Incorporating Intersection Movement Assist, VRU protection, and Collective Perception, it aims to create a safer, more accessible transport system.

This presentation will focus on the challenges and vision for C-ITS, outline key use cases, deployment strategy and a road map for next 3-4 years. The deployment strategy focusses on leveraging national activities to meet the specific needs of Western Australia, providing a base to deliver the outcomes sought.

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) is a harmonised approach to data and communications that allows vehicles to talk with each other and with road infrastructure, to share information and help drivers and road operators make better real-time decisions. Such enhanced decision making has the potential to benefit community safety, productivity, sustainability, and journey experience. This presentation shares the current state of C-ITS in Australia and the potential opportunities for Australia.
