Background information is given on the durability test procedure and the road trial program which validated the test. The durability test result gives an indication of the long term rate of hardening of a bitumen in field service. Durability results…

This Austroads project was initiated to enable road authorities to develop a better understanding of how various traffic management tools and proposed operational changes to the road network affected the performance of the entire road network, with…

Integrated tools can be a toolbox of technologies and procedures which combine both hard engineering methods such as the use of shoulders and lane access controls as well as dynamic traffic management tools such as ramp meters, incident detection,…

The objective of this report is to identify and document the findings, experiences and issues associated with the application of various road space allocation tools available to road managers. These tools are used to maximise the effectiveness of…

The objective of this report was to identify and document the findings, experiences and issues associated with the application of various dynamic traffic control systems available to road managers. The tools are used to maximise the effectiveness of…

An appraisal and evaluation framework has been developed which provides a nationally consistent approach to appraisal and evaluation of TDM measures. This framework will provide a basis for more informed choices between non-infrastructure 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…

This method covers the determination of both the permanent deformation and resilient modulus of unbound pavement materials with a maximum particle size not exceeding 19 mm using repeated load triaxial equipment incorporating, static confining…

The Austroads Improving Traffic Incident Management project involves a review of traffic incident management in major urban regions across Australia and New Zealand. This report provides a brief overview of all aspects of traffic incident management,…

The objective of this report is to provide data relating the laboratory repeated load triaxial test (RLT) results to field performance and to develop procedures for incorporation of RLT test results into performance-based specifications and…
