Since 2012, CSIRO’s Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT) has enhanced supply chain efficiency and guided transport investments. Originally designed to cut cattle transport costs in northern Australia, TraNSIT now maps over 185 commodities and handles millions of truck and rail trips annually. It factors in travel distance, time, vehicle type, and road conditions to select cost-effective routes.
