PROJECT DESCRIPTION
During my second year of university, we were privileged to work with Bombardier Transporation on our Team project on future transportation. Each member had a role: Systems, Technology & Energy, Human factors and Materials & Manufacturing. My role was the Facilitator & exterior of light rail. As a team, we did research on the context, people & activities. Our aim was to enhance transportation of public commuters using an integrated mobility system within a scope of 5km radius around the CBD.

INTEGRATED MOBILITY BRISBANE 2050: AIM
The context we chose to work on is integrated mobility for Brisbane for the year 2050. Our aim is to enhance transportation of public commuters using an integrated mobility system within a scope of 5km radius around the Brisbane CBD. We aim to make this system eco- friendly, reduce inefficiencies and improve the overall quality of life for users.
Integrated mobility Brisbane 2050: 2015 +2050
Brisbane’s current population is 2.4 million. The public transport fares are expensive, which increases the use of cars with 1-2 occupants, which increases congestion.
​
By 2050 it is estimated that there will be 4 million residents and the majority will be aged over 65. The current hubs Woolloongabba, south Brisbane, CBD and Bowen Hills will become major Precincts and there will be secondary hubs coloured in violet which are now currently growing.

Integrated mobility Brisbane 2050: PROBLEMS + OPPORTUNITIES
From our research the problems we found were that there are services that do not connect & trips are getting longer, due to the increase use of cars. The opportunities are designing for T.O.D, connecting services: hubbing; plan for increased population and design for the aging and disabled.
