This report describes a two-year study designed to quantify the immediate and longer-term maintenance impact of grader blading and surface re-sheeting on unsealed roads.
The project assembled and analysed roughness data collected by Cassowary Coast…
This report provides a summary of activities completed during 2014–15 for the Austroads long term pavement performance monitoring project.
Austroads has funded the long-term pavement performance study since late 1994. The project monitors the…
This proof of concept study used the data condensation technology of stochastic information packets (SIPs) in MS Excel to allow complete storage of all collected data. This approach, when connected to a pavement management system (PMS), was able to…
The work documented in this report demonstrates the use of existing Austroads deterministic road deterioration (RD) models in a probabilistic approach to estimate the possible predictions for the dependent variables of these models. This approach…
This report provides a brief state-of-the-art review of current traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) practice based on information gained from attending the deflection at road traffic speed workshop held in the UK in June 2012.
The current state of…
Bitumen, an important component used in road construction in Australia and New Zealand, is manufactured from a finite, non-renewable crude oil resource. A number of commercially available alternative binders and bitumen extended binders have been…
This report provides a worked example for developing skid resistance investigatory level guidelines.
The worked example is sourced from Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) and relates to texture measurement as a surrogate for skid resistance. A…
This report presents the summary of project activities conducted during the 2011/12 season, including a summary of the LTPP/LTPPM pavement condition survey results, a brief summary of the development of probabilistic road deterioration (RD) models…
