The Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Automated Vehicles in Rural and Remote Regions (AVR3) is a national initiative based at QUT’s Kevlin Grove campus. It will build skills and capability to test and deploy safe, socially acceptable AVs on rural, regional, and remote public roads – areas that make up 82 per cent of Australia’s road network and face some of the nation’s most pressing transport safety challenges.

Led by Professor Sebastien Glaser, the centre brings together 20 researchers from five Australian universities in collaboration with industry and government partners.
