This report, published in January 2022, provides a basis for future testing and standardisation of the symbols and road signage for low and zero emission vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, paving the way to adopt consistent symbols in the road…

Internal combustion engine vehicles are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia and New Zealand. Encouraging the public to utilise low and zero emission vehicles (LZEVs), such as battery electric vehicles will contribute to creating…

This report details the methodology and findings of a project to develop guidance for agencies planning, installing, and operating charging infrastructure for non-commercial passenger vehicles with battery-electric or hybrid propulsion. This study…

These guidelines cover the installation of charging infrastructure for Low and Zero Emission Vehicles (LZEVs), including requirements, location, usability, and design. LZEV charging infrastructure is provided to encourage the use of LZEVs, and to…

Austroads Project APT6305 Use of Road-grade Recycled Plastics for Sustainable Asphalt Pavements is investigating the use of recycled plastics in asphalt. The project is almost completed with results to date provided in three published reports. The…

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

The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current body of research for the incorporation of recycled material in pavements to inform updated guidance to the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials. New…

Austroads has published a report proposing a set of symbols for low and zero emission vehicles (LZEVs) and associated charging or refuelling infrastructure to be used on road signs and for road marking in Australia and New Zealand. The proposal…

This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo

This method describes the procedure for obtaining a measure of the evenness of a pavement surface as determined by the deviation from a three metre straightedge. It is applicable only to the measurement of depressions in the pavement surface and to…
