UTS student wins Institute of Transportation Engineers Australia and New Zealand (ITE-ANZ) Award

30 March 2023

The prestigious ITE-ANZ Trafficworks Undergraduate Student Award was won by one of our outstanding students, Amy Tran.

Capstone project earns a significant award

Congratulations to Amy Tran from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering on winning the prestigious ITE-ANZ Trafficworks Undergraduate Student Award. This award signifies the most outstanding piece of individual work (final year project) in the field of transportation engineering by an undergraduate student in Australia and New Zealand. Well done, Amy!

I am deeply honoured to be the recipient of the 2022 ITE-ANZ Trafficworks Undergraduate Award. Being selected as the overall winner across Australia and New Zealand for my undergraduate paper on Shared Spaces motivates me to continue my research on the topic to support the transport industry.

This project examined the movement metrics of shared space by investigating the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians in a multi-modal environment. The research focused on five study areas, four potential shared spaces, and one existing shared space, within the Fairfield City Council and the City of Sydney Local government areas. Through field observations, the study areas were an ideal case study to explore the movement metrics associated with shared space implementations. The findings of the study emphasised the need for transport professionals to account for the relationship between vehicles and pedestrians in a multi-modal environment when designing a shared space.

Dr Kasun De Silva Wijayaratna, Amy’s project supervisor, says “It has been a pleasure to guide Amy through her Capstone project. She has uncovered unique findings in a research topic that is critical for the development of sustainable communities. Her dedication, attention to detail and communication of the subject matter shows that she will be a leader within the transport domain.”

Amy received her award at the ITE-ANZ Annual Breakfast on 22 March 2023, where she received her award and a $1500 cash prize.

The school congratulates Amy on this well-deserved award!
