This webinar presents the results of the Austroads project that developed guidelines for incident response vehicles and truck-mounted attenuators.

This report details road and transport safety interventions that can reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in regional and remote areas. It contains the factsheets, prioritisation framework, and evaluation framework from the report Practical…

This report examines incident response vehicle (IRV) design and procurement, and the use of truck-mounted attenuators (TMA) in incident response. It documents the research and stakeholder consultation undertaken to inform the development of…

Use of truck-mounted attenuators (TMAs) improves responder and road user safety around incident sites. The Guidelines for the Use of Truck-Mounted Attenuators in Incident Response are intended to provide direction for practitioners where positive…

Incident response vehicles (IRVs) are used to attend incident sites to make the sites safer and provide recovery services to affected networks, vehicles and persons. They are tailor-made vehicles designed with specific considerations for the safety…

How do drivers respond to the iconic tunnel design features included in the NorthConnex road tunnel project? What were the objectives of the designs and have the designs achieved these objectives? How do the designs affect driver behaviour? The…

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 details road and transport safety interventions that can reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in regional and remote areas. A literature review expands on the Austroads National View on Regional and Remote Road Safety report by…

Austroads has recently completed a project to identify best practice for road tunnel wall panels and finishes to ensure the products achieve performance, access, maintenance, and durability requirements. The best practice research provided through…
