Road tunnels are major pieces of infrastructure across the road network, and the number of tunnels is expected to increase in the coming years. Although they are relatively safe, a significant number of crashes occur on the approaches to and within…

This report presents the findings of a project that evaluates the fatigue performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements under accelerated loading. Using accelerated pavement testing, the project evaluated three FBS host materials (100%…

This report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…

The Austroads Road Authority Data for Connected and Automated Vehicles (RADCAV) project studied the provision of agency-owned data to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) addressing six high-priority data sets: roadworks, incidents, variable…

These eight reports provide guidance on the provision of agency-owned data to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Six high-priority data sets are addressed: roadworks, incidents, variable speed limit signs and lane control signals, static speed…

Asphalt pavements are a major component of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have been putting great efforts to produce pavements which perform and are long-lasting. This has led to the…

This report describes research work into the development of a new test method utilising the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to conduct consistency 6% at 60 

The Guide to Road Safety Part 3: Safe Speed provides an overview of speed limits and their application as a speed management tool.

The increasing pace of change of technology brings considerable promise of more data, of a higher quality, captured for a lower cost. This has the potential to improve the asset management of roads by enabling better decision making and providing a…
