Freight Axle Mass Limits Investigation Tool (FAMLIT) User Guide
This hands-on user guide for the Freight Axle Mass Limits Investigation Tool (FAMLIT) describes its data inputs, data outputs and performance models.
Deploy and Refine the Road Wear Modelling Methodologies: FAMLIT Final Report

This report is the final technical document for the Deploy and refine the road wear modelling method(AT1734) project to provide an overview of the process of calculating the marginal cost of road pavement wear and the Freight Axle Mass Limits…

Motorcycle In-depth Crash Study
Motorcyclists represent an increasing proportion of road crash casualties in NSW and Australia. This study aimed to examine the:
Road Crash Injuries: Cost and Prevention
This in-depth crash investigation study was conducted to provide information about the causes and costs of a sample of serious (hospitalised) injury crashes in NSW.
Analysing Dynamic Wheel Loading and its Effects on the Network

This interim report is the third and final deliverable in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 project years for Austroads project AT1733, Analysing Dynamic Wheel Loading and its Effects on the Network. The purpose of the project is to quantify the impacts of…

Further Development of Probabilistic Road Deterioration Modelling: Pilot Application

This report documents research to further develop probabilistic modelling work undertaken in 2012 and demonstrate the impact the variations in predictions of the main dependent variable, roughness, has on road agency costs (RAC) and vehicle…

Interim Road Deterioration Models during Accelerated Deterioration

The accelerated deterioration of pavements subject to increased axle loading needs the development of interim road deterioration (RD) models so that the cost of accelerated deterioration can be estimated. These RD models were based on selected…

A Common Data Output Specification for Texture, Cracking, Strength and Skid Resistance

The report documents the development of a harmonised approach to road condition data management by Austroads member agencies.

It outlines the results of consultation with member agencies which considered principles, methods, specifications and their…

Investigation of Key Crash Types: Rear-end Crashes in Urban and Rural Environments
This report collates research into factors contributing to the incidence and severity of rear-end crashes in urban and rural environments in Australia and New Zealand. It also identifies a number of possible pertinent mitigation measures.
Road Fatalities and Serious Injuries in Australia and New Zealand 2001-10
This report is part of a project to determine the crash rates on different road stereotypes. It provides an analysis of all injuries from road crashes occurring in all Australian jurisdictions and New Zealand over the period 2001-2010. It explains…
