Previous Austroads research has identified that there is a lack of reliable information regarding the effectiveness of different road safety engineering treatments.

This report discusses infrastructure and traffic management issues identified in an examination of approximately 700 crash investigations conducted in metropolitan and rural areas of South Australia. Current traffic management and engineering…

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…

The new Iron Cove Bridge is part of the recently completed Inner West Busway Project along Victoria Rd in Sydney, which was delivered as an alliance contract by the Bridge to Bay Alliance. The alliance team partners are the RTA, Baulderstone, Hyder…

The $175 million Inner West Busway project was awarded to the Bridge to Bay Alliance in October 2007 and involved the implementation of a new city bound bus lane on the 3.5 km section of Victoria Road between Gladesville Bridge and the Crescent in…

The main purpose of the current study was to determine the extent to which a pre-existing medical condition or acute medical event was a contributing factor in crash causation for a representative sample of casualty crashes. The study involved…

Austroads study (RS.SS.N.018) identified fatigue as a major contributing factor to rural and remote crashes, and recommended that research be undertaken to address this issue. As a result ST1347 was initiated to identify innovative treatments that…

Intersection crashes are one of the more common type of crash that may occur in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that may contribute to intersection crashes and methods that may be used to prevent…

Run-off-road crashes result in a high number of serious casualty crashes in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that contribute to this type of crash and methods that may be used to prevent them from…

The Safe Systems approach has been adopted in Australia and aims to provide a road system that protects responsible road users from death and serious injury. A Safe System approach recognises that road users are fallible and will continue to make…
