The presence and use of technology in light vehicles has been increasing at a steady rate for several years. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: Driver Education Guide provides a brand and model neutral list of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems…

This report outlines a detailed and contemporary review of in-tunnel aesthetic features applied and tested, and how such features can be considered throughout the project lifecycle: planning, design, procurement, operation, maintenance, testing and…

This Guideline describes common Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions and their operational characteristics, including their limitations, and the conditions under which they may be allowed during on-road driver testing. The Guideline…

Road tunnels are an important element of the transport infrastructure, requiring significant resources and energy to construct, operate and maintain. Consequently, they are potentially a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental…

This report documents a project undertaken to investigate the issues associated with managing the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of road tunnels in a sustainable manner. The results of the investigation informed an update to all…

Road tunnels are major pieces of infrastructure across the road network, and the number of tunnels is expected to increase in the coming years. Although they are relatively safe, a significant number of crashes occur on the approaches to and within…

This report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…
