Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a marine environment deteriorate with time due to chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing bars. Corrosion is initiated by chloride contamination if the structures have poor quality concrete and/or inadequate…

A key element of optimised asset management involves determining the type and timing of maintenance and renewals actions to achieve the least whole-of-life cost. This can often be a very complex process in reality because of the many different…

This paper discusses an agent-based framework for improved bridge asset management. The framework comprises a geospatial representation of a network, a bridge performance deterioration model, and behavioural models of key stakeholders.Effective…

In this paper a framework for assessing the robustness of existing reinforced concrete structures under corrosion is presented. Robustness is defined as a structural property related to the tolerance to damage and is measured by the mean performance…

The management of bridges as a key component in transportation infrastructure has become a major concern due to increasing traffic volumes, deterioration of bridges and well-publicised bridge failures. A critical responsibility for asset managers in…

This report defines how emerging C-ITS will integrate with existing ITS currently being operated by Austroads member road agencies. The report is limited to investigating what is required to achieve interoperability between 5.9 ITS (a term used to…

Performance modelling is an asset management tool used to quantify or qualify the performance of a bridge within the context of the overall bridge network. Performance modelling techniques include the use of performance indicators and deterioration…

This report discusses an investigation undertaken to determine the level of interfering signals from 5.9 GHz uplink transmissions of fixed satellite service (FSS) antennas in order to predict the potential level of impact of these transmissions on C-…

This report discusses the potential positioning requirements needed to be addressed by Australian governments in order for Australia to commence positioning itself to be ready to be a fast adopter of C-ITS platforms and applications being researched…

This report forms part of the Austroads NT1632 Cooperative Intelligent transport systems (C-ITS)project, which has the overall purpose of progressing the development of a framework that will enable C-ITS to be deployed and operated in Australia and…
