    Digital starting blocks: The Sydney Metro experience Samantha McWilliam1, Damien Cutcliffe2 1&2WSP, Sydney, AUSTRALIA Corresponding Author: [email protected] SUMMARY Sydney Metro is currently Australia’s biggest public transport project. Stage 1 and 2 of this new standalone railway will ultimately deliver 31 metro stations and more than 66 kilometres of new metro rail, revolutionising the way Australia’s biggest city travels. Once it is extended into the central business district (CBD) and beyond in 2024, metro rail will run from Sydney’s booming North West region under Sydney Harbour, through new underground stations in the CBD and beyond to the south west. Sydney Metro City and Southwest (Stage 2) features twin 15.5km tunnels along with 7 new underground stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. The line is extended beyond Sydenham with an upgrade of the existing Sydney Trains heavy rail line to Bankstown. The adoption of a digital engineering approach on the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project resulted in an unprecedented level of collaboration and engagement between designers, clients and stakeholders. The use of tools such as WSP’s bespoke web based GIS spatial data portal Sitemap allowed geographically mapped data to be made securely available to all stakeholders involved on the project, enabling the team to work off a common data set while simultaneously controlling/restricting access to sensitive data. Over the course of the project this portal was enhanced to act as a gateway to all other digital content developed for such as live digital design models, virtual reality and augmented reality content. This portal was the prototype for what is now called ‘WSP Create’.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-19-05 TITLE: Collaboration as a service (CaaS) to fully integrate public transportation – lessons from long distance travel to reimagine Mobility as a Service Integrated mobility aims to improve multimodal integration to ABSTRACT: make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. This paper critically reviews extant literature and current public transport governance frameworks of both macro and micro transport operators. Our aim is to extent the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), a proposed coordination mechanism for public transport that in our view is yet to prove its commercial viability and general acceptance. Drawing from the airline experience, we propose that smart ticketing systems, providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can be extended with governance and operational processes that enhance their ability to facilitate Collaboration-as-a-Service (CaaS) to offer a reimagined MaaS 2.0 = CaaS + SaaS. Rather than using the traditional MaaS broker, CaaS incorporates operators more fully and utilises their commercial self-interest to deliver commercially viable and attractive integrated public transport solutions to consumers. This would also facilitate more collaboration of private sector operators into public transport with potentially new opportunities for taxi/rideshare/bikeshare operators and cross geographical transport providers (i.e.
