Improved Railway Road Design for Heavy Vehicles
This report identifies road design improvements to better cater for the safe passage of heavy vehicles through railway level crossings.
Verification of Austroads Road Design Criteria Based on Objective Safety Evidence

This report provides a compendium of recent and robust evidence on the relationships between twenty key geometric design criteria and safety outcomes.

The project critically reviewed quality research sources to identify crash modification factors…

Bicycle Safety at Roundabouts
This report investigates how the geometric design components of a roundabout may contribute to bicycle crashes.
Simulating Barrier Crashworthiness with High Certainty and Ensuring Safety in Design
Roads and Maritime Services of NSW (RMS) design, accept and manage barriers for use on classified roads and bridges. Crash testing of a system of barrier units is infrequently performed due to high costs and a myriad of impact conditions that needs…
Bridge Anti-falling Load Systems Performance Qualification Procedure Proposal
When adopting the European Standard for road restraint systems EN1317, France faced the need to adapt its National Guidelines in order to allow anti-falling load systems to be qualified and used on its territory. The original French bridge parapets…
Network Wide Assessment of Bridge Barrier Safety
The need for higher performance bridge barriers has been reflected in changes in barrier
Economical Design for Impact Actions on Bridge Structures
Vehicular barriers are essential for highway bridges, and are often under the risks of vehicular impact. However, the current highway codes of practice use the force-based design which ignores the inertial resistance arising from the mass of the…
