Improved Railway Road Design for Heavy Vehicles
This report identifies road design improvements to better cater for the safe passage of heavy vehicles through railway level crossings.
Techniques for Incident Management to Support Network Operations Planning
This report investigates current local and international incident management techniques and proposes an Australasian incident management framework that supports network operations planning.
Verification of Austroads Road Design Criteria Based on Objective Safety Evidence

This report provides a compendium of recent and robust evidence on the relationships between twenty key geometric design criteria and safety outcomes.

The project critically reviewed quality research sources to identify crash modification factors…

Bicycle Safety at Roundabouts
This report investigates how the geometric design components of a roundabout may contribute to bicycle crashes.
Webinar: Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 3: Geometric Design - Session 2
In October 2016 Austroads delivered a two-part webinar providing an overview of the updated Guide to Road Design Part 3: Geometric Design. This second session covers horizontal and vertical alignment, and superelevation.

Review of Motorway Entrance Ramp Acceleration Lengths
This report investigates whether the ramp acceleration lengths provided in the Austroads Guides are valid for modern Australian vehicles.
Road Geometry for Improved Rural Safety

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…

Freeway Incident Detection Technologies and Techniques
This project aims to review current technologies and techniques for automatic freeway incident detection (AFID) and to provide guidance on the deployment of AFID applications, focusing on the operational aspects of incident detection. The focus is…
