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 report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…

This report provides guidance on consistent, efficient and safe design of emergency egress signage and operations in road tunnels. While there are Australian Standards relating to emergency egress signage, these were not originally intended for use…

This general guide contains: an introduction to geopolymer concrete, its constituents and how it is manufactured

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…
