Brisbane invests in smart mobility ahead of 2032 Games

Brisbane is preparing for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games by upgrading both physical infrastructure and intelligent digital systems to shape a more inclusive and future-ready city. This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Brisbane expects millions of visitors in 2032, so local transport must handle immense crowds smoothly and reliably. That requires more than just tracks—it demands real-time data, responsive technology, and integrated operations.

Major investments are already underway. Projects like Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro form the core of the expansion, supported by over $4.69 billion USD in funding through the South East Queensland City Deal.

But tunnels and trains alone won’t ensure success. Smart systems that deliver live updates, guide commuters, and enable crowd control are equally essential for efficient, accessible travel.

Smart stations support Brisbane’s Olympic ambitions

KeTech’s real-time Customer Information System (CIS) is transforming stations into digital hubs. Passengers receive clear, live updates on platforms, lift status, and train arrivals—onsite or remotely via web-connected screens.

Operators can send targeted updates to platforms, entire trains, or stations to reduce bottlenecks. This keeps crowds moving and enhances safety across Brisbane’s expanding network.

CIS also displays multilingual content, AUSLAN video, and accessibility alerts, supporting an inclusive experience from start to finish. With KeTech’s tools, stations don’t just function—they engage.

Brisbane uses real-time systems for a seamless journey

On board, KeTech’s Passenger Information System (PIS) delivers live updates on seat availability, stop information, and multimodal connections. These tools help passengers make decisions quickly, easing congestion and confusion.

During the Games, clarity is critical. Brisbane will rely on these systems to guide international visitors navigating unfamiliar routes, reducing stress and improving satisfaction.

All of KeTech’s technology operates within its Universal Information System (UIS). Unlike older, disconnected tools, UIS unifies data across stations, trains, and control centers—ensuring consistency citywide.

This holistic approach positions Brisbane as a global leader in modern transport. By blending smart design with digital infrastructure, the city ensures benefits that extend well beyond 2032.
