This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement surface texture measurement using a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the rutting of road pavements, determined by the direct measurement of the transverse profile of the road surface using a laser profilometer. The device must be capable of producing an accurate…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement rutting measurement using a laser profilometer.

This report investigates whether the ramp acceleration lengths provided in the Austroads Guides are valid for modern Australian vehicles.

This report draws on literature and crash data analysis to identify and quantify geometric road design elements which contribute to casualty crash occurrence and severity on rural roads, e.g. lack of sealed shoulders, steep downhill grades combined…

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection response of road pavements using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD).

This test method defines the procedure for validating the distance measurement performance of vehicles conducting road condition monitoring surveys (e.g. inertial laser profilometers, Falling Weight Deflectometers, etc.).

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the maximum deflection and curvature of road pavements using a deflectograph.

This project forms part of an ongoing Austroads strategic research program to improve the understanding of the relationship between crash risk and road elements. This report provides a summary of the relationship between crash risk, and geometric…

Passive control railway level crossings within the road network pose a significant safety issue, both for trains and multi-combination vehicles (MCVs) and restricted access vehicles (RAVs0. In order to have provision for the larger MCVs and RAVs,…
