Webinar: Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risk in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes
This webinar presents the work involved in developing a standardised comparative risk assessment method for assessing life safety risk of dangerous goods being routed through the tunnel or via an alternative surface route.
Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risks in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes: Best Practice Review
This report is one of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…

This report is one of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…
Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risks in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes: Manual for Using DG-QRAM in the Australasian Context
This report is the second of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…
Webinar: When the Rider, not the Rubber, Hits the Road
Can motorcycle protective clothing really prevent serious injuries in motorcycle crashes? Over the past 20 years there have been great advances in the technology of impact and abrasion resistant materials and yet many of the garments currently…
Webinar: Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme Update
The current learner approved motorcycle scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 to replace the 250cc engine capacity limit for novice riders (i.e., those on learner and provisional licenses) as race replica 250cc motorcycles were over-…
Webinar: Motorcycle Rider Perceptive Countermeasures
Austroads has recently completed a project that investigated road-based treatments as a perceptual countermeasure (PCM) to influence motorcyclist perceptions of speed and lane width in order to incentivise a safe approach when negotiating critical…
Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme Update
The current Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 and has since been adopted by all states, territories, and New Zealand, albeit with some amendments in some jurisdictions. There has not been a formal review of LAMS…
Webinar: Austroads National Harmonisation of Temporary Traffic Management Practice – Update
In this webinar, Chris Koniditsiotis, Lead Implementation Consultant and Patsy Thomas, National Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) Operations Manager provide an update on the implementation and operational commencement of the Austroads National…
Motorcycle Rider Perceptual Countermeasures
This report details a trial conducted to evaluate whether a suitable road-based perceptual countermeasure (PCM) could influence the travelling speed as well as lane position of motorcyclists to induce a safe curve negotiation. The motorcyclist PCM…
