This report reviews the tools that monitor, measure and evaluate the performance of the road network, for both arterials and freeways. The interest in measurement and evaluation tools for the overall network is mainly driven by the need to operate…

This Austroads project was initiated to enable road authorities to develop a better understanding of how various traffic management tools and proposed operational changes to the road network affected the performance of the entire road network, with…

Integrated tools can be a toolbox of technologies and procedures which combine both hard engineering methods such as the use of shoulders and lane access controls as well as dynamic traffic management tools such as ramp meters, incident detection,…

The objective of this report is to identify and document the findings, experiences and issues associated with the application of various road space allocation tools available to road managers. These tools are used to maximise the effectiveness of…

The Austroads Improving Traffic Incident Management project involves a review of traffic incident management in major urban regions across Australia and New Zealand. This report provides a brief overview of all aspects of traffic incident management,…

This report reviewed current traffic incident management practices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, to identify successful practices and challenges or gaps in current practices that could lead to improvements in the management of…

This report investigates the appropriateness of microsimulation modelling for the planning, operation and training of incident management in a road network. The methodology for this study includes a literature review and a modelling case study of…

It could be argued that literature on traffic incident management seemed to fall into two categories

This report comprises Task 3 of Austroads Project NS1017, ‘Improving Traffic Incident Management’. Task 3 is to contribute to the development of an evaluation framework to assess priorities for new alternatives in traffic incident management (TIM).…
