Summary

This report looks at the injury, both fatal and non-fatal, of Indigenous persons in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland due to transport accidents in the five-year period 1999–00 to 2003–04. Sixty per cent of the Indigenous population of Australia and 38% of the total Australian population reside in these four jurisdictions. The main findings of the report are that:

Part X (ten) of theCompetition and Consumer Act 2010 (the Act) regulates international liner shipping of cargo to and from Australia. Liner cargo shipping is generally defined as shipping services operating on a regular trade route, with predetermined and publicly advertised schedules between advertised ports of call.

Summary

Transport accidents are a leading cause of injury, both fatal and non-fatal. The primary purpose of this publication is to provide a broad overview of serious injury due to land transport accidents in Australia in the one-year period 200304, the latest year for which data are available. The main focus is on accidents involving road vehicles travelling on public roads (called travelling in traffic).

Summary

Speeding is a major contributor to road trauma and attitudes toward speeding are hypothesised to be a key determinant of the behaviour. Attitudinal research is limited by reliance on self-report measures and the attendant possibility of reporting biases. The Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee & Schwartz, 1998) aims to measure attitudes without reliance on self-report, by assessing the association between a target-concept and an evaluation, in terms of reaction time for compatible versus non-compatible pairings.

Summary

Police enforcement of Road Rules and Regulations involves a wide range of complex tasks, many of which demand the use by Police of modern technologies (e.g., fixed and mobile speed detection devices). The aim of this project was to identify and define, from first principles, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and telematics technologies which have significant potential to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Police enforcement activities in Australia.
