Defining Asset Management Level of Service Requirements for Freight on Rural Arterial Roads

This report documents the outcomes of surveys of road freight drivers, operators and road infrastructure managers to better understand their asset management level of service (LOS) requirements.

The survey responses identified three primary road…

Force Ratio of Polymer Modified Binders (ARRB Extensiometer)
This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of the force ratio and toughness of bitumen and PMBs under specific conditions of deformation using the ARRB extensiometer.
Incorporating Uncertainty in Pavement Management System (PMS) Modelling: Phase 1

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…

Design of Bituminous Binder Blends to a Specified Viscosity Value
This test method provides a guideline for the design of a blend of RAP binder, virgin binder, and/or rejuvenating agent to a target viscosity.
Level of Service Metrics (for Network Operations Planning)
This report documents a level of service (LOS) framework for network operations from the perspectives of different road users.
Shear Properties of Polymer Modified Binders (ARRB ELASTOMETER)
This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of consistency, consistency 6%, stiffness and elastic recovery of polymer modified binders (ARRB elastometer), under specific conditions of deformation, using the elastometer developed…
Heavy Vehicle Roughness Band Index: An Alternative Trigger for Pavement Rehabilitation
This report has developed a new index, the Heavy Vehicle Roughness Band Index (HVRBI), as a measure of ride quality for heavy vehicles. The HVRBI is intended for use by road asset managers as a trigger to initiate pavement intervention works…
Particle Size and Properties of Crumb Rubber
This method describes a procedure for determining the particle size, shape and contaminants of crumb rubber.
Best Practice on Improving Level of Service for Freight Vehicles, On-road Public Transport, HOV and Emergency Vehicles
This report summarises the best practice for the improvement of the level of service of freight vehicles, on-road public transport, high-occupancy vehicles and emergency vehicles.
Analysis of Current Practices for Improving the Level of Service of On-Road Public Transport, HOV and Emergency Vehicles
This report describes the concept and definition of level of services (LOS) for specific road users that include on-road public transport, high occupancy vehicles (HOV) and emergency vehicles. It reviews current practices to improve their LOS and…
