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…

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

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…

Austroads project NS1378 Best Practice for Variable Speed Limits (VSL) aims to review international and domestic VSL initiatives, recommend methods to achieve best practices in VSL design and operational issues, propose a consistent appearance so…

This report aims to produce best practice recommendations as a basis for consistent application of variable speed limits in Australasia. VSL have been trialled since 1960s in the US and European countries. In Australasia, the first VSL trial started…

Austroads project NS1378 Best Practice for Variable Speed Limits (VSL) aims to review both international and domestic VSL initiatives, recommend methods to achieve best practice in VSL design and operational issues, propose a consistent appearance…

Speed-related crashes are a continuing concern in Australasia. On behalf of Austroads, ARRB Group undertook to develop a framework for an intervention to promote safe driving among recidivist speeders.

Five key tasks were carried out: a literature…

The aim of this project was to establish the effectiveness of key Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) treatment types in reducing traffic speeds and in reducing the risk of crashes on local roads in Australia. A review of recent literature (post-…
