What is AIMES?

AIMES (Australian Integrated Multimodal EcoSystem) is a world-first integrated transport and technology project, running in real time from the streets of inner-city Melbourne. We have one goal: to link all transport infrastructure and users in cities together to deliver safer, cleaner and more sustainable urban transport.

In a six-square kilometre segment of inner city Melbourne, we have collaborated with more than 50 local and global partners and government bodies to establish the world’s first, and largest, transport ecosystem in a real-world environment.

But it’s not just about the movements of the public transport network,the AIMES connects to all aspects of the transport system, from vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using Bluetooth, to sensors placed on buses, trams and trains, to environmental sensors recording pollution and noise in different areas. Using smart sensors placed at intersections, tramways, bus stations and roadsides, our partners are revolutionising the development of vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-vulnerable road users, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems.
