Hydrology Update to the Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 5
Hydrology Update to the Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 5
This report documents the changes to Section 6 &ndash
Development of Machine-Learning Decision-Support Tools for Pavement Asset Management
Development of Machine-Learning Decision-Support Tools for Pavement Asset Management
This report explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine-Learning (ML) in pavement asset management and details a methodology for developing new use-cases. While there are some existing uses of AI and ML technology in pavement asset…
Prolonging the Life of Road Assets Under Increasing Demand: A Framework and Tools for Informing the Development and Justification of Asset Preservation and Renewal
Prolonging the Life of Road Assets Under Increasing Demand: A Framework and Tools for Informing the Development and Justification of Asset Preservation and Renewal
This report provides an evaluation framework, practices and supporting tools for evaluating road preservation and renewal treatment options for predominantly sprayed seal flexible pavements. It includes a compilation of case studies based on a…
Strategy for an Improved Mechanistic-empirical Flexible Pavement Treatment Design
Strategy for an Improved Mechanistic-empirical Flexible Pavement Treatment Design
This report details research undertaken to improve the mechanistic-empirical procedure for pavement rehabilitation and strengthening treatment design included in Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 5: Pavement Evaluation and Treatment Design.…
Improved Distress Viscosity Model for Reseal Intervention
Improved Distress Viscosity Model for Reseal Intervention
An existing model predicted binder life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters, binder durability (resistance to hardening) and seal…
Development of an Aggregate Size Term for a Reseal Intervention Model
Development of an Aggregate Size Term for a Reseal Intervention Model
An existing model predicted maximum seal life by combining a binder hardening (increase in viscosity) model and a distress viscosity model. Inputs for the two models were site temperature parameters and binder durability (resistance to hardening).…
Salinity and Rising Water Tables: Risks for Road Assets
Salinity and Rising Water Tables: Risks for Road Assets
This report documents work undertaken in relation to the Austroads Business Systems Project BS.A.N.523 Salinity and Rising Water-Tables - Risks for Network Asset management. The purpose of the project was to identify the potential impact of dryland…
Guidelines for Treatment of Stormwater Runoff from the Road Infrastructure
Guidelines for Treatment of Stormwater Runoff from the Road Infrastructure
Stormwater runoff from roads has the potential to impact aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through changes to water quality, water quantity and water flowpath. It is important to manage stormwater to reduce such pressures on sensitive receiving…
Road Runoff & Drainage: Environmental Impacts and Management
Road Runoff & Drainage: Environmental Impacts and Management
This manual explores the impact of road runoff and drainage on aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Road Runoff and Drainage aims to assist road infrastructure planners, designers, environmental officers and project managers in achieving…
