This hands-on user guide for the Freight Axle Mass Limits Investigation Tool (FAMLIT) describes its data inputs, data outputs and performance models.

This report is the final technical document for the Deploy and refine the road wear modelling method(AT1734) project to provide an overview of the process of calculating the marginal cost of road pavement wear and the Freight Axle Mass Limits…

This interim report is the third and final deliverable in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 project years for Austroads project AT1733, Analysing Dynamic Wheel Loading and its Effects on the Network. The purpose of the project is to quantify the impacts of…

This report documents research to further develop probabilistic modelling work undertaken in 2012 and demonstrate the impact the variations in predictions of the main dependent variable, roughness, has on road agency costs (RAC) and vehicle…

The accelerated deterioration of pavements subject to increased axle loading needs the development of interim road deterioration (RD) models so that the cost of accelerated deterioration can be estimated. These RD models were based on selected…

The report documents the development of a harmonised approach to road condition data management by Austroads member agencies.

It outlines the results of consultation with member agencies which considered principles, methods, specifications and their…

This report details a study conducted using detailed roughness measurements on a panel of unsealed local roads located in Moorabool Shire Council at both the pre- and post-works effect (WE) treatment stages. The aim of the study was to develop…

This report summarises the activities undertaken during the 2013–14 year for the long term pavement performance (LTPP) monitoring project.

Austroads project AT1064 Long-Term Performance Monitoring to Develop Consistent Performance Models has…

Very little is known about riding quality for trucks. Pavement roughness is widely accepted as a reliable low-cost measure of ride quality for occupants of passenger cars, and of road condition, and is a significant input to the estimation of road…

This report provides the results of two separate reviews into practices relating to low trafficked roads: namely, the use of recycled materials and the management of roadside vegetation. The use of recycled materials is becoming increasingly common…
