The report documents the development of a harmonised approach to road condition data management by Austroads member agencies.

It outlines the results of consultation with member agencies which considered principles, methods, specifications and their…

The accelerated deterioration of pavements subject to increased axle loading needs the development of interim road deterioration (RD) models so that the cost of accelerated deterioration can be estimated. These RD models were based on selected…

This report details a study conducted using detailed roughness measurements on a panel of unsealed local roads located in Moorabool Shire Council at both the pre- and post-works effect (WE) treatment stages. The aim of the study was to develop…

This report summarises the activities undertaken during the 2013–14 year for the long term pavement performance (LTPP) monitoring project.

Austroads project AT1064 Long-Term Performance Monitoring to Develop Consistent Performance Models has…

The main objective of this study was to assess the profiler gain validation technique as an alternative method for validating laser profilers that measure road roughness. The study sought to identify a suitable reference profiler against which other…

This report documents a review and comparison of Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD) deflections, based on different approaches, at a network level.

It draws on the work undertaken for Austroads by Roads and…

This report documents discussions about international traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) data analysis and reporting held at the second Deflection and Road Traffic Speed workshop in Norway in June 2013. It also documents TSD data procurement and…

This report describes inspections conducted on double/double primerseals constructed in Victoria.

It is not typical practice to use two-layer primerseals, or polymer modification in primerseals, and methods to do so are not described by Austroads…

This report details the findings from visual inspections conducted on two Austroads sprayed seal field trials: a non-modified binders trial near Gisborne,

A mobile pavement surface wear rig has been constructed, which aims to gain an improved understanding of the failure mechanisms that are particular to the pavement surfacing layer – as distinct from the structural layers – that may be caused by…
