There is a need to improve the Austroads procedures for mix design and structural design of foamed bitumen stabilised materials. This progress report summarises the mix design test methods drafted to date and those planned for 2015–16 within the…

The ITS roadmap establishes a shared vision of ITS activities to achieve the effective development and deployment of ITS in Australia and New Zealand. Developed collaboratively by road agencies and ITS-Australia, the roadmap shows collective…

The current version of the Austroads sprayed seal design method was published in 2006 and has been in use for the last nine years. During recent times, a number of sprayed sealing practitioners have indicated that the basic voids factor for single/…

The report covers a variety of topics related to improving the design procedures for asphalt pavements in Australia. Literature reviews of perpetual pavement design concepts and the relationship between flexural and compressive modulus were…

The current Austroads approach to assess the relative damaging effects of different axle groups on road pavements is by comparison of the peak static pavement deflection response under the axle groups. The assumption that deflection is the most…

Traffic loadings on Australia’s extensive sprayed seal network have increased, particularly with freight efficiency resulting in longer and heavier loads being transported by prime movers.

This report details the development of a model to describe…

This document defines the core functions of the C-ITS platform including their objectives and capabilities. It identifies user needs and describes how the system will operate.

This report presents the findings from the second year of a three-year Austroads study which aims to maximise the re-use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt mixes.

A survey was conducted in Australia to identify the important issues…

This report documents the outcomes of an assessment of the emerging C-ITS standards and may be used to provide an understanding of the standards and provide guidance for determining which standards should be adopted locally.

The report describes the work undertaken in the second year of a two year project to assist implementation of a new Australian asphalt mix design procedure. The main tasks undertaken were (i) publication of an update for the Australian Provisional…
