In Australia and New Zealand, bituminous binders used in road construction are tested prior to use to ensure they will perform satisfactorily during road construction/maintenance. Some of the Australian Standards that are used for these tests have…

This test method describes the procedure for determining the cone penetration of a joint sealant at 25 

This test method describes the procedure for determining the resistance of hot poured joint sealants to flow at a temperature of 70 °

This test method sets out the procedure to be used to prepare joint sealant samples for testing.

This test method describes the procedure for determining the degree to which a joint sealant is degraded by heat during prolonged storage (6 

Road users are increasingly recognising the value of data for improved mobility and safety. Austroads Cloud Connected Road User (CCRU) project studied how agencies can support cloud-connected road users through data from portable and fixed in-…

Cloud connected road users (CCRUs) are travellers utilising information from portable and fixed in-vehicle devices to assist with trip planning, and warning and advice when travelling. This report examines various cloud connected road user data…

Physical road infrastructure such as pavement markings and signals may have an important role to play to support the uptake of automated vehicles (AVs). Austroads has recently completed a project to provide road agencies with clear advice on…

The characterisation of the flexural stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures in Australia and New Zealand is undertaken using a four-point bending (4PB) configuration. This document describes the procedures to be followed to verify…

This test method sets out procedures for the preparation of asphalt specimens and measuring the change in indirect tensile strength resulting from the effects of moisture and freeze/thaw conditioning. The results can be used to assess the propensity…
