Despite high levels of community education and sustained enforcement, alcohol-related crashes and drink-driving offences continue to pose a threat to road safety.

This report examines the effectiveness of national and international programs that treat and rehabilitate drivers with alcohol dependence and the criteria used to approve the removal of interlocks.

This report brings together five years of research into the modulus, strength fatigue characteristics of cement treated granular materials as used in road pavements. Laboratory procedures used to prepare, cure and test materials for flexural modulus,…

The laboratory characterisation of cemented materials for road pavements was completed in Austroads Project TT1359 Cost-Effective Structural Treatments for Rural Highwaysand more recently in Austroads Project TT1664 Cemented Materials…

Concrete durability is of great interest to State Road Authorities (SRA's), who are responsible for over 8,000 concrete bridges and in excess of 16,000 major culverts, with a replacement value exceeding $8.5 billion. Many of these concrete…

Concrete durability is an increasingly important issue for road authorities because of the large population of ageing bridges and the decreasing funds available for construction and maintenance. The performance of bridges in the Australasian road…

This report considers the ideal methods for a scientifically rigorous evaluation of the possible road safety benefits of Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices. It is hoped that the core methodology suggested by this research will allow…

A number of States are considering the introduction of an alcohol ignition interlock program - entailing the fitting of a device to a vehicle to prevent an alcohol-affected driver from starting it. Within this ambit, Austroads established a team to…
