This proof of concept study used the data condensation technology of stochastic information packets (SIPs) in MS Excel to allow complete storage of all collected data. This approach, when connected to a pavement management system (PMS), was able to…

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

Austroads project AT1539 developed guidance for the use of new technologies that can improve the efficiency of road asset managers. This report is the second stage of the project and it assesses eleven new technologies that can be potentially useful…

This report outlines the process for asset management plans (AMPs) and long-term financial plans (LTFPs) in Australia, as well as the compilation and use of financial sustainability indicators in this regard.

This report documents the outcomes of an Austroads project which considered the asset management implications of the new Safe System approach and investigated what implementing a Safe System would mean for asset managers. The report provides a…

This study examines the value and need for network-level pavement deflection data to support road asset management decisions. The outcomes of the study provide critical input to decisions to undertake network-level strength assessment across…

Claims for compensation brought by road users against road authorities remain a significant issue across Australia. Further, the claims environment varies between jurisdictions (states and territories) and differences have been found in the…

This report has developed a new index, the Heavy Vehicle Roughness Band Index (HVRBI), as a measure of ride quality for heavy vehicles. The HVRBI is intended for use by road asset managers as a trigger to initiate pavement intervention works…

The objective of this project was to define a relevant, feasible and comparable set of network performance indicators (NPIs) that can be used for benchmarking asset management performance across member authorities (MAs) based on a review of existing…
