The National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) works with road and transport agencies across Australia and New Zealand to improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of transport networks. Using advanced survey vehicles such as the Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle (iPAVE), NTRO collects highly detailed data on pavement strength, road assets and network performance — generating gigabytes of data per lane kilometre. To securely move and process this data at scale, NTRO adopted Globus, delivered by AARNet, enabling fast, reliable transfer of large datasets between survey systems and partner organisations.
The shift means results that once took weeks or months to prepare are now available to clients within days.
“Globus has proven to be a reliable, secure, and easy-to-use platform for handling our large data uploads,” said Tyson Foster, Data and Technology National Leader at NTRO. “The automated retry functionality has been especially helpful, giving us confidence that transfers will complete successfully even when network connections are patchy.”
