This webinar explores the origins of the program, how and why it started, it will share high-level insights from the evaluation, including what worked, what didn’t and what was learnt along the way. It also shares ‘where to next’ for the program and…

This webinar presents the results of the Austroads project that developed guidelines for incident response vehicles and truck-mounted attenuators.

This webinar explores how the Digital Atlas is transforming the way we access and use location data. It discusses the National Roads dataset – a comprehensive dataset on Australia’s roads, now freely accessible to the public.

This report examines incident response vehicle (IRV) design and procurement, and the use of truck-mounted attenuators (TMA) in incident response. It documents the research and stakeholder consultation undertaken to inform the development of…

How do drivers respond to the iconic tunnel design features included in the NorthConnex road tunnel project? What were the objectives of the designs and have the designs achieved these objectives? How do the designs affect driver behaviour? The…

This report documents the findings from a research study, which aimed to investigate driver behaviour and perceptions while driving through a simulated version of the Sydney NorthConnex (NCX) road tunnel and evaluate the effectiveness of aesthetic…

This report documents the findings from a research study which aimed to validate the use of a virtual reality (VR) driving simulator to study driving behaviour in a real road tunnel.

This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.

This method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm. This method was developed from BS…

This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…
