ARC Training Centre for Automated Vehicles in Rural and Remote Regions

该中心将建立测试和部署安全、社会可接受的自动驾驶汽车（AV）的技能和能力，用于澳大利亚农村、地区和偏远地区的公共道路，在这些地方，制造业、农业、矿业和国防工业面临着驾驶员短缺、成本上升、距离长、道路崎岖和环境影响等重大挑战。该中心将把技术提供商、监管机构、政府和最终用户与世界领先的跨学科研究人员联合起来，创建新的人类-自动驾驶系统、数据集、框架、案例研究、平台和技能水平大大提高的劳动力。这将降低运输成本，增加运力，提高供应链效率和弹性，改善道路安全，提升澳大利亚的能力。

The Centre will build skills and capability to test and deploy safe, socially acceptable, automated vehicles (AV) for rural, regional and remote Australian public roads, where manufacturing, agriculture, mining and defence industries face significant challenges of driver shortages, rising costs, long distances, rough roads, and environmental impacts. The centre will unite technology providers, regulators, government and end users with world-leading interdisciplinary researchers to create new human-AV systems, datasets, frameworks, case studies, platforms, and a vastly upskilled workforce. This will reduce transport costs, increase capacity, boost supply chain efficiency and resilience, improve road safety, and elevate Australian capability.
