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 investigates the origins of the current Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) criteria that differentiates modified granular materials from bound materials. Based on the review, a number of changes to the UCS design criteria are…

Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…

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…

This technical report resulted from a study to develop Austroads guidelines on network level assessment and analysis of data on pavement structural condition. This report outlines the benefits of network level assessment of the structural condition,…

A Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system is defined as a device that measures the dynamic axle weight of a moving vehicle to estimate the corresponding static axle mass. This report documents the status of WIM technology, focusing on Australia's situation.…

The Review of Axle Spacing/Mass Schedules report covers vehicles conforming to RoRVL Option C axle mass limits in the General Access and Restricted Access classifications proposed by Austroads. The report`s considerations and recommendations only…
