australia-43643
Introduction
This article mainly highlights that all concerned departments Alice agencies engaged in transport
research should give top priorities to some significant aspects like innovating Technologies
which are efficient former for both domestic and global markets, conducting research for
development of urban design, autonomous vehicles, sensor Technologies, spatial analysis, and
lastly effective pricing and resource allocation.
Discussion
This article aims to give a direction to the scientific research in the field of transport Technology
conducted in Australia. The researchers argue that more than one third of the energy produced
from non sustainable resources in Australia is consumed in transport activities. Hence, research
in this field of study should concentrate onon driving a substitute technology by means of which
Australia can capitalise on her unique and unusual characteristics to find a sustainable solution.
Now, this problem is lead to the road and Highways network of Australia in the context that the
excess consumption of liquid fuel is owing to extensively long distances between population and
the centres of economy.
The significance of this article lies in the fact that like other empirical studies it does not
imply that development of a more destructive network of road and Highways will help to solve
the problem of checking the gap between population and economic centres. The researchers, in
this article identify that the same can also be achieved by enabling the implementation of

disruptive Technology for regulation of traffic laws on the roads of busy cities, developing a
framework of sharing cars among multiple users and so on (Terill 2015).
Conclusion
Going beyond that comment please demand of innovating e-vehicles, sensor Technologies for
pollution mapping and a well engineered spatial analysis of the roads and highways, this research
study emphasizes on allocating scientific research for identifying and implementing policies and
frameworks that can make the traffic flow on the streets of busy city is more convenient and as
such reduce the time consumption period for covering large distances. In this case, the article
fields to identify in specification, which roads are Highways of Australia should be covered
under the scope of this project.
Article 2: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/21/australias-10-most-dangerous-
stretches-of-highway-revealed
This article evidently explore the particular Highways are the specific locations on roads
and Highways which are mostly prone to accidents. After observing 900 dates between the year
2010 and 2014, the Automobile Association of Australia and the road safety department of
Australia, came up to conduct which primary survey for locating the most dangerous stretches of
highways.
Discussion
most temperature is has been provided on the Pacific motorway of Queensland, which is a major
stretch of Highway and almost all significant parts of the highway which experiences heavy
traffic are equally prone to road accidents.
