This report documents the results of an Austroads project to identify the asset management needs and level of service (LOS) requirements of future non-freight road users.
Preliminary work documented the relationship of this project to other Austroads…
This report documents the outcomes of surveys of road freight drivers, operators and road infrastructure managers to better understand their asset management level of service (LOS) requirements.
The survey responses identified three primary road…
This proof of concept study used the data condensation technology of stochastic information packets (SIPs) in MS Excel to allow complete storage of all collected data. This approach, when connected to a pavement management system (PMS), was able to…
This document is an update of the design procedure for double/double sprayed seal surfacing. The information supersedes that in Update of the Austroads Sprayed Seal Design Method(Austroads 2006), and replaces Sections 6, 7 and 8 in that document.

Polished aggregate friction value (PAFV) tests are used by most jurisdictions in Australia to determine the resistance of aggregates to the polishing action of vehicle tyres on the road. Two versions of the PAFV test are used in Australia: the…
This report describes studies of the effects of test conditions on vertical polished aggregate friction value (PAFV) results and the results of a proficiency study which was conducted to determine a preliminary PAFV value for UK aggregate. The…
