CSIRO Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool(TraNSIT) performs a mass optimal routing of vehicle movements between thousands of enterprises, and scales up to provide industry, domain or locality wide logistics costs. This provides the ability to test nfrastructure scenarios that reduce transport costs for thousands of enterprises nationally or with in a region. Transit accounts for features and costs associated with the transport of a commodity across the road/rail network. Transit has been set up for about 98% of agriculture transportion Australia, including, beef, grains, cotton, pigs, dairy, horticulture and rice. It has been used to test the benefits of road upgrades, regulatory changes and calculating transport benefits of strategically (or optimalIy) located processing facilities.
