This report documents the findings from a research study, which aimed to investigate driver behaviour and perceptions while driving through a simulated version of the Sydney NorthConnex (NCX) road tunnel and evaluate the effectiveness of aesthetic…

This report documents the findings from a research study which aimed to validate the use of a virtual reality (VR) driving simulator to study driving behaviour in a real road tunnel.

This report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…

This report explores and draws together the ways in which place is classified, measured and valued from a transport perspective. Through a literature review, the study captured the way place was being measured and valued by a range of different…

This report provides guidance on consistent, efficient and safe design of emergency egress signage and operations in road tunnels. While there are Australian Standards relating to emergency egress signage, these were not originally intended for use…

The Safe System concept has the objective of eliminating deaths and serious injuries, with the guiding principle that everyone, including planners, share responsibility for creating a safe road system. Good planning and design sets the foundation…

Accessibility is broadly defined as the variety of opportunities provided to people through efficient arrangement of land use and various modes of transport. It measures the ease with which people are able to find and reach the best suited…

This report provides background, data references and guidelines for planners and traffic engineers in addressing planning issues associated with development projects that will affect freight movements, particularly in urban areas.

This report reviews and compares processes and tools for access management employed in Australia and New Zealand. It highlights both commonalities and wide variations in practice in dealing with proposals for new points of access (driveways and…

The two-volumes of Cities for Tomorrowprovide detailed guidance and resource material to assist practitioners in the integration of planning for land use, transport and the environment.

More than 85 percent of the Australian population resides in its…
