Abstract

At present, the new scientific and technological reform in the world is having a tremendous impact on the transportation industry, and the future development direction of the transportation field is the focus of the current research. In this context, Australia's transportation system is also in an important period of transformation in the direction of on-demand, low-carbon, network connection and automation. This paper studies and discovers Australia's existing achievements and problems in the field of transportation from three aspects: transport services, transport management and transport policy. Facing the development direction of Australian future transportation, the paper studies the strategic deployment, advantages and disadvantages, and upcoming challenges of Australian future transportation from the two main aspects of self-driving cars and intelligent transportation systems. In the aspect of building a powerful transportation country, learning and accepting the strategies of other countries with an open mind and continuously studying the ideas and progress of other countries in solving traffic problems can contribute to the construction and development of transportation in our country.
