This report extends the Austroads network operation planning framework to address transport accessibility issues.

This report documents a level of service (LOS) framework for network operations from the perspectives of different road users.

The Austroads Network Operation Planning Framework (the Framework) was developed in 2009 however it is not widely used by road agencies. This research aimed to understand each road agency’s approach and consider how the Framework could be improved…

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 achieved the objective of consolidating the available research on the impacts of lower speed limits on network operations. It extended this knowledge to bridge an identified knowledge gap regarding urban arterial roads by modelling the…

The evaluation of road network operation schemes often requires the use of modelling to forecast the performance of proposals. There is a variety of modelling techniques available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Certain modelling…

The increase in the demand for transport services which is forecast to continue into the foreseeable future has placed greater focus on infrastructure and non-infrastructure solutions to meet that demand. Further, there is growing recognition of the…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement deflection testing using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD).
