Overdrive: Cars, Transport And Culture

We are in a time of huge and rapid technological development which will offer great opportunities to adapt the way we do things Add to that, major uncertainties arising from situations such as COVID. So predicting the future, or more to the point making the most of the future, needs expansive thought and engagement and research. The ARRB, formerly the Australian Road Research Board, has a vision statement to To help make the world’s cities smarter, cleaner, greener, safer, more efficient and productive through intelligent transport solutions. How do we do this is times of difficult funding and a media driven emphasis on short term immediate. It is a pleasure to again speak to Michael Caltabiano CEO of ARRB. After a few technical difficulties I asked him about what the road authorities were seeking, when they set up ARRB in 1960.
