Improving the unification of Australia’s railway system
through standardisation of information and outcomes is the key aim
of Theme 4. The theme aims to investigate and develop Nationwide
rail information and electronic service systems, and assist the
optimal performance of rail compared to, and at the services'
interface with, other transportation modes. These systems, as well
as research into environmental standards and technologies and
safety programmes, all aim to make rail a more attractive mode of
transport.
Objectives:
- To facilitate the development of a united Australia-wide
sustainable railway service.
- To reduce rail noise and dust pollution and improve environmental
protection.
- To improve rail customers’ service efficiency using
e-business systems.
- To improve rail management efficiency by providing managers with
technology scanning/information database.
