This report reviews the different ways road managers assess the pavement impacts of Performance Based Standards (PBS) vehicles and presents a framework and findings that support the development of nationally consistent infrastructure assessment…

Within Australasia Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), also known as mobile plant in New Zealand, are routinely measured and weighed differently depending on the jurisdiction completing the measuring and weighing. The objective of this research is to…

This report describes the conduct of field trials involving repeated weighing of four different Oversize Overmass (OSOM) vehicle combinations using portable scales.

This report provides a methodology to establish an Australian (and potentially a New Zealand) weigh?in?motion (WIM) network.

This report provides input to the Austroads project Performance of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements. It involves a literature review of existing CO2-e emission calculators applicable to road construction (using asphalt products) with a view to…

Climatic conditions play a significant role in the performance of road infrastructure. Models which have been developed to describe road performance can benefit from accurate knowledge of climatic trends. Without access to complete historical data,…

This discussion paper is aimed to identify the issues relevant to the future operations of road network asset managers, arising from the consequences of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction in the context of reducing the impact of climate change.…

There is an increasing body of evidence that the earth's climate is changing with some of the changes attributable to human activities. Climate change can have direct and indirect impacts on road infrastructure. The direct impacts are due to the…

This report documents work undertaken in relation to the Austroads Business Systems Project BS.A.N.523 Salinity and Rising Water-Tables - Risks for Network Asset management. The purpose of the project was to identify the potential impact of dryland…

This project has involved the collection into a single database of all available WIM data and the interrogation of that database to provide information on speed and mass compliance by two selected vehicle types Results of this work must be treated…
