This report documents Stage 2 of an Austroads project to improve the measurement and reporting of serious injury crashes by matching crash and hospital data. Stage 1 provided proof of concept for a national approach to supply data on non-fatal…

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 provides an evaluation framework, practices and supporting tools for evaluating road preservation and renewal treatment options for predominantly sprayed seal flexible pavements. It includes a compilation of case studies based on a…

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 documents an Austroads pilot project (Stage 1) to improve the measurement and reporting of serious injury crashes by matching crash and hospital data. The aim was to provide a proof of concept for a national approach to supply routine…

An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…

An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…

Comparison of the efficiency and effectiveness of practices used by road agencies to deliver their services can contribute to the identification and implementation of national best practice in this regard. This report addresses road authority…

In 1995 Austroads Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development indicated that progress needed to be regularly reviewed in so far as ESD was a journey rather than a destination. Subtitled Progress and Directions, this document represents a…

The National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) was released in 1992. Recognising the strategic importance of ESD to the transport sector, Austroads developed a Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development in 1995, which…
