An Austroads study of Australian and New Zealand roads capability (AP-R574-18) identified capability/learning gaps amongst graduates and novice practitioners in traffic management. The 2018 study also confirmed that road agencies are experiencing…

This report documents a project addressing a recognised lack of traffic management knowledge and skills in young practitioners through the development of a series of online learning modules in traffic management. This report brings together the…

This report documents the extensive reviews and evaluations of established and emerging methodologies in Freeway Capacity Analysis. It also documents the extensive consultations with Australian and New Zealand practitioners to capture their current…

This webinar, presented on 9 December 2019, provides an overview of ways to more accurately model heavy vehicle movements during interrupted traffic flows in Australia and New Zealand.

This report explores heavy vehicle parameters which can be used to improve the accuracy of traffic modelling in Australia and New Zealand. The focus was on relevant parameters used in SIDRA, LINSIG, AIMSUN and VISSIM to model heavy vehicle movements…

This report provides input to the Austroads project Performance of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements. It involves a literature review of existing CO2-e emission calculators applicable to road construction (using asphalt products) with a view to…

This study looked into four on-road public transport (ORPT) priority treatments including: full bus lane (FBL), set back bus lane (SBBL), queue jump bus lane (QJBL) and no priority (NP). Microsimulation traffic modelling (MSTM) is a useful tool for…
