Creating Stakeholder Value
Future mobility trends
The future of transport is expected to involve safer and more sustainable mobility options that provide convenience and personalised
transport choices. Transurban is well-positioned for future opportunities through integrating data capabilities with decades of operating
experience
AI
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVS)
Innovation in cars and trucks steadily occurring in sensors, data
management and artificial intelligence, which allows vehicles to
increasingly perform tasks independently
CAV technology has the potential to improve efficiencies on road
networks through more fluid traffic flow, increased safety and
broadened transport accessibility
CAV software integration may tie in with other mobility trends
such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) to facilitate seamless
transport journeys on demand
MaaS could offer an integrated and convenient transport
platform
MaaS innovations offer the potential to provide a range of
transport solutions based on a customer's personalised travel
needs
Benefits are centered around seamless convenience for point-to-
point travel, including across singular or multiple transport modes
MaaS could potentially provide customers with the ability to
organise, book and pay for trips across a single account

Low or zero emission vehicles (ZEVS)
Low or zero emission vehicles have been gaining in popularity
based on improved economics when compared to internal
combustion engines and environmental benefits
Continued electrification of vehicle fleets expected to accelerate
the transition of vehicles with more advanced software, potentially
supporting the integration of CAV technology and MaaS
Mass adoption of ZEVS will require new infrastructure and
processes, such as charging facilities and approaches to incident
response
Road user charging (RUC)
Under the current fuel excise system, drivers with older and less
efficient vehicles pay more in fuel excise per kilometre travelled
compared to more fuel-efficient or zero emission vehicles. This creates
an increasingly inequitable road funding model over time
Governments and the broader industry are exploring various RUC
models including usage-based charging
Future opportunities may exist to use the RUC model to improve
network efficiency, such as using price charging signals to vary driving
behaviours in congested areas or during peak periods
