The Austroads Road Authority Data for Connected and Automated Vehicles (RADCAV) project studied the provision of agency-owned data to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) addressing six high-priority data sets: roadworks, incidents, variable…

These eight reports provide guidance on the provision of agency-owned data to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Six high-priority data sets are addressed: roadworks, incidents, variable speed limit signs and lane control signals, static speed…

Austroads Technical Specification ATS 3120 sets out the requirements for the supply of aggregates used for sprayed bituminous surfacing work. The technical specification can also be downloaded as a Word document.

Australia and New Zealand produce about 510,000 tonnes of end‑of‑life tyres annually. Crumb rubber derived from end‑of‑life tyres has been used in Australia for several decades to enhance the performance of binders used in sprayed seals but prior to…

Crumb rubber binders have been used to construct sprayed seals in Australia for many decades but have not been utilised in asphalt in the past. Due to the lack of crumb rubber binder grades in the Australian national polymer modified binder (PMB)…

The Guide to Road Safety Part 3: Safe Speed provides an overview of speed limits and their application as a speed management tool.

Currently, most Austroads member agencies rely on their unique technical specifications for the delivery of roadworks and bridge projects. In many cases, these specifications have been developed over a number of years in consultation with local…

Raised Safety Platforms (RSPs) are a vertical deflection device increasingly used to reduce the maximum comfortable operating speed for vehicles to Safe System collision speeds, particularly at intersections. While the use of vertical deflection…

The research undertaken for this project comprised: an audit of existing speed enforcement strategies in all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions

Austroads Project TS1456 (Expanded Operating Speed Model) was established to update and expand the road design operating speed models used in Australia. In particular, the project reviewed the validity of the existing operating speed model for rural…
