Previous Austroads research has identified that there is a lack of reliable information regarding the effectiveness of different road safety engineering treatments.

This report outlines the methods that can be used in the evaluation of road safety treatments, and discusses the data requirements, and the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. It is designed to assist selection of the most appropriate…

The objective of this project is to improve the safety performance of roadsides. The Stage 3 interim report of this project presents the project findings achieved during the 2010-11 financial year. Stage 3 builds on findings and recommendations of…

A database of the properties of bitumens used in Australia has been collated over the course of this project (2006/12). This database will be useful in identifying possible trends in properties associated with changes in the manufacture of…

This report is the fourth in a series which examines the properties of bitumens used in Australia. The bitumen testing program was undertaken to develop a database of selected bitumen samples dating back to 1956. This database has been used to…

Bitumen is a major component used in the construction of roads in Australia and New Zealand. As it can only be manufactured from a small number of the crude oils in the world, the future supply and cost of bitumen will be directly linked to the…
