A program trialling technology which allows passenger cars to communicate directly with other vehicles and traffic lights will soon begin on the northern edge of Melbourne s central business district.
The trial, known as the Australian Integrated Multimodal EcoSystem (AIMES) and run by the University of Melbourne, will use two specially-prepared Lexus SUVs to test the system, as state governments look to make road infrastructure more intelligent in the coming years.
The vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology – collectively known as V2X – mean cars will be more aware of traffic conditions, with the aim to significantly reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities, car accidents, and traffic gridlocks in the city.

A large-scale AI application hosted on Amazon Web Services predicts traffic conditions in Melbourne and aims to reduce delays in hotspots in the city.
A world first project launched today seeks to use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict traffic congestion up to three hours ahead, optimising traffic in large cities and improving road safety.
Transport engineering expert and AIMES director professor Majid Sarvi says the application can also optimise traffic signals for on-road vehicles, freight, and public transport such as buses and trams.
“The application observes the nature of traffic and figures out complex traffic patterns across the network through machine learning built into the technology”, Sarvi says.
