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).…
Investigation of Internal Bus Safety Measures
Investigation of Internal Bus Safety Measures
The recent report Review of the School Bus Safety Action Plan (AP-R207, 2002) detailed the implementation of a range of school bus safety measures by jurisdictions and also provided a methodology for refining and prioritising measures contained in…
Evaluation of the Proposed Actions Emanating from Road Safety Audits
Evaluation of the Proposed Actions Emanating from Road Safety Audits
A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal, independent review of new and existing road and traffic operation plans. In recent years, road authorities in Australia and New Zealand have recognised the potential of RSAs to prevent crashes or reduce their…
Review of the School Bus Safety Action Plan: Final Report
Review of the School Bus Safety Action Plan: Final Report
At the request of the Australian Transport Council, ARRB Transport Research was commissioned by Austroads in 1999 to undertake a review of school bus safety in Australia. This study reviewed current practice and research in relation to school bus…
