Asset management Strategy for Road-related Assets (Safety Infrastructure)
The provision and maintenance of safety infrastructure such as safety barriers and safety fences enhances roadside safety and vehicle movement and reduces the risk of road crashes and their severity. This report provides guidance for the management…
Safe System Infrastructure on Mixed Use Arterials

This report provides a synthesis of key safety solutions as well as issues that need to be considered when effectively addressing safety on urban mixed use arterial routes.

Mixed use urban arterials account for a large proportion of high?severity…

Verification of Austroads Road Design Criteria Based on Objective Safety Evidence

This report provides a compendium of recent and robust evidence on the relationships between twenty key geometric design criteria and safety outcomes.

The project critically reviewed quality research sources to identify crash modification factors…

Improving the Performance of Safe System Infrastructure: Stage 1 Interim Report

This report summarises the findings from the first year of a three-year study which reviews the safety performance of road infrastructure elements identified as Safe System solutions. The first stage sought to identify these solutions and to…

Application of New Technologies to Improve Risk Management (Stage 1): Scoping of Potential Technologies

The purpose of this report is to identify new technologies that are potentially useful for asset managers and develop guidelines for the application of selected new technologies for asset/risk management. This report covers the first stage of the…

Review of Specifications for the Collection of Digital Road Imaging

Digital road images have many applications for the management of road networks. With the rapid advancements in technology and the wide range of applications of digital images currently available, it is useful to create a set of standard…

Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 9: Rural Intersection Crashes
Intersection crashes are one of the more common type of crash that may occur in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that may contribute to intersection crashes and methods that may be used to prevent…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 10: Rural Run-off-road Crashes
Run-off-road crashes result in a high number of serious casualty crashes in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that contribute to this type of crash and methods that may be used to prevent them from…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 8: Rural Head-on Crashes
The Safe Systems approach has been adopted in Australia and aims to provide a road system that protects responsible road users from death and serious injury. A Safe System approach recognises that road users are fallible and will continue to make…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 11: Road Safety and Maintenance
To assist member authorities in the management of road assets to provide better safety outcomes, this research program has been developed to assess the safety implications of road deterioration, the safety benefits of asset restoration, and the…
