Austroads LTPP and LTPPM Study - Summary Report 2009-10

Austroads Project AT1064 Long Term Performance Monitoring and Model Development was initiated in 1994/95. The project was reviewed in 2003 and later in 2007 by GP Youdale Consulting Engineers to assess the project’s program and progress and, if…

Predicting Structural Deterioration of Pavements at a Network Level: Interim Models

Pavement performance data, in terms of Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) deflection, was collected from 71 test sections available from the LTPP/LTPPM sites and used to develop structural deterioration models for flexible asphalt and sealed unbound…

Interim Network Level Functional Road Deterioration Models

This report documents the development of interim network level road deterioration (RD) models for the roughness, rutting and cracking of sealed granular pavements.

These RD models can be used at the network level for the strategic analysis of the…

A Method to Correlate Weigh-in-Motion and Classification Data

This report looks at low-cost vehicle classifiers to provide some indication of pavement loading or gross vehicle mass (GVM). WIM equipment is relatively expensive to install and calibrate, and may not be easily installed anywhere in a road network.…

Future Asset Management Issues No. 2: Impacts of Peak Oil with Increases in Bitumen and Fuel Costs on Road Use and Asset Management Funding
This discussion paper examines the consequences of 'peak oil' for road asset management and identified several key issues as the potential subject of future research to assist asset managers in managing the consequences of 'peak oil'. This paper is…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 11: Road Safety and Maintenance
To assist member authorities in the management of road assets to provide better safety outcomes, this research program has been developed to assess the safety implications of road deterioration, the safety benefits of asset restoration, and the…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 4: Treatment Life for Road Safety Measures
All road and traffic authorities need to direct their funding wisely to road safety treatments that ensure the most cost-effective returns in crash and injury reductions. In order to do this, accurate information is required on the expected benefits…
