Freight Sprawl
“Decentralised” or “suburbanised” freight
• Congestion
• Increased truck-kilometres
• Land pressures
• Last-mile constraints

Disruptors
Rapid Urbanisation
Limited resources and funds
• Drones and other Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• New delivery technology
• Trials and pilots that are increasing weight and spatial limitations
• Driverless
• Intelligent communications between people and goods
• Overnight freight movements

Disruptors
Rapid Urbanisation
Limited resources and funds
• Innovative Models and Start-up Businesses
• Utilises technology and industry connectivity
• UberRUSH = an on-demand fleet service
• Sendle = cheaper parcel delivery, with door-to-door movements
• Smart Locker systems
• Electric vehicles

• Advanced data analytics
• Real-time data analytics
• Predictive analytics
• “Tailor-made” services

Impact of Disruptors
Likely – increased urbanisation, resource and
economic constraints
Probable – more data and connectivity
We need to think differently about our investment
decisions.

Investment decisions around
infrastructure and freight
+$20 Billion on Australian roads per annum
How worthwhile were our investments? What is
the longevity of our investments like?
How do you provide a ‘safeguard’ against
uncertainty and possible disruptors?

Investment decisions – “Resilience
to future disruptors”
• Wi-Fi coverage for infrastructure to communicate
• Sensor detection
• Data capture from GPS-enabled devices
• Data brokerage
• Speed monitoring
• Real-time transport data analysis
• Real-time transport data for influence road user
behaviours
• Predictive analytics + machine learning + artificial
intelligence
18. 18
Investment decisions – “Resilience
to future disruptors”
• Electric vehicle charging points
• Visual surveillance intelligence
• User detection intelligence
• Weather and flood detection and alert systems
• Investments that prioritise urban freight, not
just passenger transport or private users
• Funding R&D so that roadways have some other
beneficial secondary purpose
• Mitigate project risk by allowing dual-purpose
assets
19. 19
Investment decisions around
infrastructure and freight
Better investment decisions:
• Data and evidence
• Transparency
• Key learnings & continuous improvement
• Risk mitigation
• by incorporating a level of resilience to future disruptors
• By building in the data and technology changes
• Low-cost considerations, network optimisation
20. Conclusion

Be conscious of the growing significance of
urban freight transport in our rapidly
increasingly urbanised cities.
There is value to be gained by implementing
quality investment decisions in transport.
Enabling more sustainable urban freight
supply chain requires some changes and
innovations.
