This is the final report of Austroads Project NS1524 that aims to address the need to improve Australian practice in Intelligent transport systems through greater knowledge and utilisation of international practices. The purpose is to identify those…

Understanding the extent of changes in modal shift and their consequences in terms of road deaths and injuries is essential if we are to fully understand progress towards the targets of the National Road Safety Strategy, and the actions that may be…

To assist member authorities in the management of road assets to provide better safety outcomes, this research program has been developed to assess the safety implications of road deterioration, the safety benefits of asset restoration, and the…

Meeting road safety targets will be assisted by the deployment of a range of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technologies which are already available or which will become available over the next few years. A recent Austroads study involved a…

All road and traffic authorities need to direct their funding wisely to road safety treatments that ensure the most cost-effective returns in crash and injury reductions. In order to do this, accurate information is required on the expected benefits…

ARRB Group has completed a major Austroads research program to assess risk involving road, traffic and roadside infrastructure. The results provide road authorities with more effective tools to reduce road crashes and injuries. The objectives for…

This report reviews current developments in infrastructure-based safety-related ITS, documents their status in Australia and New Zealand, and makes recommendations for future developments in this area. A literature review is presented in which…

This report presents the case for a secure frequency band of 5.850 to 5.925 GHz (referred to as 5.9 ITS ) for cooperative intelligent road transport systems that provides critical road safety and traffic efficiency outcomes. The report is the final…

This report describes the concept and definition of level of services (LOS) for specific road users that include on-road public transport, high occupancy vehicles (HOV) and emergency vehicles. It reviews current practices to improve their LOS and…

This report provides information on emerging technologies to improve the LOS of on-road public transport (ORPT), high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) and emergency vehicles (EVs). A list of measures and technologies is compiled from this and earlier…
