This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.

This method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm. This method was developed from BS…

This document describes the procedures to be followed to test an asphalt specimen using a wheel tracking test device. The procedures can be carried out on prismatic specimens that have been manufactured in the laboratory, cut from an existing…

This document describes the procedures to verify that a wheel tracking test device complies with the requirements of those devices permitted for use in Austroads test method ATM 231. The procedures are advisory rather than mandatory and reference…

The test method specifies procedures for the characterisation of the stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures using a four point bending test configuration. The test procedure to characterise the complex modulus is contained in Section…

This webinar is beneficial to consultants who may be interested in tendering for Austroads projects. The session covers new Austroads projects lined up for the 2023-24 financial year, Austroads process around research data collection and what is…

This report, published in January 2022, provides a basis for future testing and standardisation of the symbols and road signage for low and zero emission vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, paving the way to adopt consistent symbols in the road…

Internal combustion engine vehicles are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia and New Zealand. Encouraging the public to utilise low and zero emission vehicles (LZEVs), such as battery electric vehicles will contribute to creating…

This report details the methodology and findings of a project to develop guidance for agencies planning, installing, and operating charging infrastructure for non-commercial passenger vehicles with battery-electric or hybrid propulsion. This study…

These guidelines cover the installation of charging infrastructure for Low and Zero Emission Vehicles (LZEVs), including requirements, location, usability, and design. LZEV charging infrastructure is provided to encourage the use of LZEVs, and to…
