This test method sets out the procedure for determining the likelihood of a seamless tubular filter fabric, which has been pretreated in ultraviolet light, to ladder, unravel or deweave when placed over a mandrel. This test method can also be…

Can motorcycle protective clothing really prevent serious injuries in motorcycle crashes? Over the past 20 years there have been great advances in the technology of impact and abrasion resistant materials and yet many of the garments currently…

The current learner approved motorcycle scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 to replace the 250cc engine capacity limit for novice riders (i.e., those on learner and provisional licenses) as race replica 250cc motorcycles were over-…

Austroads has recently completed a project that investigated road-based treatments as a perceptual countermeasure (PCM) to influence motorcyclist perceptions of speed and lane width in order to incentivise a safe approach when negotiating critical…

The current Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 and has since been adopted by all states, territories, and New Zealand, albeit with some amendments in some jurisdictions. There has not been a formal review of LAMS…

This report details a trial conducted to evaluate whether a suitable road-based perceptual countermeasure (PCM) could influence the travelling speed as well as lane position of motorcyclists to induce a safe curve negotiation. The motorcyclist PCM…
