100 Big Ideas

Format: Presentation
Summary: The amount of CO2 emitted by the average Victorian car and Tesla Model S are similar. So even if we make all vehicles EVs, we still cannot reach our original target of 43% reduction by 2030.
Only when the battery electricity is about 30%, does the EV start to have an impact on sustainability.
Pinpoint for sustainable options:
Towel service at the end of trip facilities to enhance user experience
Incentivise bike and e-bike purchases to reduce costs for commuters
Safety of cycling
Education of cycling safety
Supporting infrastructures for cycling (dedicated cycleways)
Public transport information (language barriers)
Bikeway mapping/information
Pedestrian crossings at all intersection legs
Better traffic signals (priorities pedestrians and bikes)
Car free streets
Light-weight transportation
Integrate bikes with PT – take on journey
Active travel impact assessment
30km/hr speed limit local roads
Sustainability targets on shared economy delivery
Reform road rules to give ROW to pedestrians
Analysing Bike Crash Data
Fiona Campbell (City of Sydney)
Session: 1
Room: 3240
Format: Presentation
Summary: Most people feel unsafe when cycling on the road, and they feel more dangerous when they have less control. Police-recorded crash data for bicycles are not as accurate as the crash for drivers. Oxford ST has the highest reported crashes based on the data. The most popular crash types are ride-through (rank 1) and dooring (rank 2). However, dooring shows a reduced trend after 2020.
The presenter shared the bicycle crash data of Sydney city in recent years using power BI and find some bike crash report pattern change after Covid. From historical data, it can be found that right-through and dooring are the most frequent crashes. But after covid, these two events hardly ever happened again. At the same time, annual crash reports have been reduced.
Is the delivery or receipt of transport sexist?
Alison Lee (Urbis)
Session: 1
Room: 3170
Format: Debate
Summary: Topic: Is the delivery or receipt of transport sexist?
Loading zones are sexist. Jobs are predominantly done by men. The product is sexist, or the delivery is sexist. Some people said it is more of a systemic issue than transport causing it. It is a design issue.
Problems:
1. School congestion
2. Where do non-binary people fit?
Reason:
Jobs are clustered (25% of employment) and 75% of jobs are dispersed. Public transport is not designed for the dispersed job.
Ideas:
There are different lenses to look at this problem. The city is diverse we might implement the physical separation between genders. We can use behaviour change theory. People can do courses about how to perceive common space. The intersection of the topic is how effective is Public Transport? Does it provide access to all genders?
Solutions:
1. Do we need more women in high positions?
2. Encouraging active transport for school
3. Valuing more conventional economic values.
4. Dedicated parking for different professionals or maybe for genders.
5. Safety in public transport!
6. Keeping trans community kept at the site.
7. Change the behaviour of people!
What are the key challenges and opportunities for last mile micromobility logistics in Sydney?
John Parnell (Urbis)
Session: 1
Room: 3230
Format: Presentation
Summary: An informal discussion on the integration of last-mile systems was discussed.
Discussion points:
The objectives of the system
How about the impact of on-street parking?
The size of the package
Working with a business company like Amazon, for example.
What are the pains:
Parking
Congestion
Reliability
Legal law
Cost of fuel
Security
Other options include Electric bikes vs conventional bikes, autonomous bikes
The types of goods
