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.
LEARNING EXPERIENCES / CHALLENGES
-
Learning how to manage a project and the dynamics of how a team works.
-
Defining a problem in the transport market and designing a product solution.
MARKET RESEARCH
Conducted research on Brisbane's transport in the next few years and current successfule transport systems in other cities. Researched about the technology, infrastructure and demographics that

Aim is to enhance transportation of public commuters using integrated mobility system within a scopeof 5km radius around the Brisbane 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.

Enhancing Public Transportation in Brisbane
We're focused on improving public transportation in Brisbane for 2050. Our goal is to create an eco-friendly integrated mobility system within a 5km radius of Brisbane CBD, reducing inefficiencies and enhancing the quality of life for commuters.
Brisbane's current population of 2.4 million faces high public transport costs, leading to increased car usage and congestion. By 2050, the population is expected to grow to 4 million, with a significant elderly demographic. Major hubs like Woolloongabba, South Brisbane, CBD, and Bowen Hills will become precincts, while violet-colored secondary hubs will emerge.
Our research identifies challenges like disconnected services and longer trip times due to increased car usage. We see opportunities in Transit-Oriented Development (T.O.D), improved service connections, planning for population growth, and designing for the aging and disabled.
