This report is an output of a project that incorporated both consultative and desktop research components to establish supportable national policy directions to inform the development of a national mobile driver licences (mDL) implementation roadmap.…

This report explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine-Learning (ML) in pavement asset management and details a methodology for developing new use-cases. While there are some existing uses of AI and ML technology in pavement asset…

This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…

This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

This report presents an agency business capability model to support connected vehicles. The model defines the required agency business capabilities and associated capability maturity target states from business and technology perspectives. Connected…

This report is an addendum to the Austroads Future Vehicles 2030 report (AP-R623-20), published in June 2020. Future Vehicles 2030 included forecasts of sales and fleet penetration for eight vehicle technologies or uses, including Automated Driving,…

This report details research undertaken to improve the mechanistic-empirical procedure for pavement rehabilitation and strengthening treatment design included in Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design.…

This report identifies and evaluates technology solutions that meet asset management needs relating to road pavement performance. The increasing pace of change of technology brings considerable promise of more data, of a higher quality, captured for…

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the type, volume, and price of recycled plastics and their possible uses in asphalt. The report presents data, including recycling processes, prices of recycled plastics, annual production volumes and…

There is a need to improve Austroads procedures for the structural design of pavements containing lightly bound cemented (LBC) materials. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the performance of Queensland pavements with LBC…
