This report is Part B of the third report for the APT6305 project. The first report examined road-grade recycled plastics in asphalt pavements and investigated the most suitable types of recycled plastics for incorporation into the asphalt. The…

This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…

This report details research undertaken to improve the mechanistic-empirical procedure for pavement rehabilitation and strengthening treatment design included in Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design.…

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the type, volume, and price of recycled plastics and their possible uses in asphalt. The report presents data, including recycling processes, prices of recycled plastics, annual production volumes and…

There is a need to improve Austroads procedures for the structural design of pavements containing lightly bound cemented (LBC) materials. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the performance of Queensland pavements with LBC…

This report examines how longitudinal pavement markings affect automated steering functions and whether changes to design and maintenance practices could improve the support lane markings provide for current advanced drivers assistance systems and…

This report proposes electronic sign readability criteria for use by jurisdictions in the design and testing of electronic signs. It considers the requirements of traffic sign recognition systems in current vehicles and those soon to enter the…

Australian and New Zealand vehicle fleets may be entering a period of significant change due to the emergence of Automated, Connected and Electric Vehicles and new models of vehicle ownership and use such as ride sharing services. This report…

This report documents the outcomes of research designed to: examine what role, if any, registration and licensing authorities should undertake to ensure that licence applicants are competent in the use of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS

Abstract The purpose of this project is to identify gaps in current physical and digital road infrastructure to support the operation of automated vehicles on key highways and freeways in Australia and New Zealand This Module 4 investigates emerging…
