Overseas research has suggested that asphalt fatigue endurance limit may exist, where applied strain is sufficiently low no fatigue damage accumulates in the asphalt as the rate of asphalt healing exceeds the rate of damage accumulation. The…

This report identifies trends in crash involvement amongst older road users (aged 75+).

This report presents the technical findings of a two-year study which sought to identify effective infrastructure improvements to reduce motorcycle crash risk and crash severity, based on how riders perceive, respond and react to infrastructure they…

The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixes provides a vital basis for sustainable development. Maximising the re-use of RAP in its highest value application, as new asphalt product, has significant economic and environmental…

This publication reports the literature review and statistical analysis stages of a project to investigate the relationship between disadvantage and road casualties.

This report is the final deliverable of a three year Austroads project to improve the design procedures for asphalt pavements. The object of the work in this final year was to validate the proposed improved procedures for the characterisation of…

This report proposes an assessment framework designed to help road agencies methodically consider Safe System objectives in road infrastructure projects.

This report details the first year of a three-year Austroads project to transfer French Enrobés à Module Élevé Class 2 (EME2) technology to Australia. EME2 technology offers the prospect of reduced asphalt thicknesses for heavy duty pavements, and…

The Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4B: Asphalt provides an introduction to the nature of asphalt as a material and its application in road pavements.

The Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) helps road agencies identify fatal and serious injury (severe) crash risk across all parts of the road network. ANRAM helps road agencies manage this risk through development of treatment…
