Characterisation and Performance Evaluation of Granular Bases Project: Pavement Construction Report

A new rut resistance approach based on the wheel-tracking test for unbound granular materials has been developed. The objective of the Austroads project TT1819 is to validate the wheel-tracker laboratory approach against large-scale Accelerated…

Australian National Risk Assessment Model
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…
Model National Guidelines for Setting Speed Limits at High-risk Locations
This report incorporates recent research, best practice examples, and jurisdictional inputs to propose a set of model national speed limit guidelines for setting speed limits at high-risk locations. The model guidelines represent a harm reduction…
Preparation of Pavements for Priming and Primersealing
This Pavement Work Tip provides guidelines for the preparation of granular pavements prior to priming or primersealing.
Assessment of Rut-resistance of Granular Bases using the Repeated Load Triaxial Test
Over the last decade a considerable amount of research effort has been focussed on the development of a repeated load triaxial (RLT) test procedure to assist practitioners in the use of natural and marginal unbound base/subbase materials in road…
The Road Safety Consequences of Changing Travel Modes
Understanding the extent of changes in modal shift and their consequences in terms of road deaths and injuries is essential if we are to fully understand progress towards the targets of the National Road Safety Strategy, and the actions that may be…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 11: Road Safety and Maintenance
To assist member authorities in the management of road assets to provide better safety outcomes, this research program has been developed to assess the safety implications of road deterioration, the safety benefits of asset restoration, and the…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 4: Treatment Life for Road Safety Measures
All road and traffic authorities need to direct their funding wisely to road safety treatments that ensure the most cost-effective returns in crash and injury reductions. In order to do this, accurate information is required on the expected benefits…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 6: Crash Reduction Rates

ARRB Group has completed a major Austroads research program to assess risk involving road, traffic and roadside infrastructure. The results provide road authorities with more effective tools to reduce road crashes and injuries. The objectives for…
