About CCAT
From today’s vehicles featuring advanced driver systems such as lane keeping assist, heads-up displays and autonomous emergency braking, to the fully autonomous vehicles which will move people and freight – the future of movement is here, and the possibilities are accelerating daily.
The Centre for Connected and Automated Transport (CCAT) is a collaborative partnership between government, industry, academic and community bodies to champion the implementation of automated transport in Australia and New Zealand. CCAT operates under the auspices of NTRO. It is managed by an Executive Director accountable to a Board of industry and government directors.
CCAT is not an industry interest group. It does not seek to advance the commercial interests of its members through favourable policies or lobbying. CCAT is entirely driven by the public interest and is a not-for-profit body.
