Safe Intersection Approach Treatments and Safer Speeds through Intersections: Final Report, Phase 1.
The aim of this project is to investigate intersection crashes with a view to determining suitable intersection approach treatments, and opportunities for better managing speeds through intersections, so as to reduce the severity of intersection…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 3: Review of Best Practice in Road Crash Database and Analysis System Design
Crash databases are an essential tool in analysing crash risk. Databases allow identification of high crash locations, and provide information on crash causation, allowing these crashes to be effectively targeted. The information contained in crash…
Impact of Lower Speed Limits for Road Safety on Network Operations

This project achieved the objective of consolidating the available research on the impacts of lower speed limits on network operations. It extended this knowledge to bridge an identified knowledge gap regarding urban arterial roads by modelling the…

Road Safety on Local Government Roads: Final Report

Local government roads form a significant part of the public road network, but little is known about crashes on these types of roads. This study involved a review of literature, crash data analysis, site investigations, in-depth crash analysis and…

Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 2: Crash Risk Migration

This report provides an overview of the effect known as crash risk migration (CRM). It is intended to build an understanding of the potential for CRM to occur as a result of road safety treatments. It is also intended to inform current approaches to…

Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 1: Relationships between Crash Risk and the Standards of Geometric Design Elements

This project forms part of an ongoing Austroads strategic research program to improve the understanding of the relationship between crash risk and road elements. This report provides a summary of the relationship between crash risk, and geometric…

Infrastructure/Speed Limit Relationship in Relation to Road Safety Outcomes

The objective of this project was to provide advice to jurisdictions on appropriate speed limit setting policy in light of harm minimisation (the Safe System approach). This advice was based on the improved understanding of the relationships between…
