Assessing Fitness to Drive Implementation
This report describes the results of surveys conducted among medical practices and medical practitioners in March/April 2023. The surveys investigated the barriers to conducting fitness for duty assessments in the transport industry, and the…
Feasibility of Using Anti-stripping Additives as an Alternative to Hydrated Lime
Hydrated lime is widely used in Australia to reduce the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixes in service. However, the local asphalt industry is concerned about the sustainability of the continued use of hydrated lime in asphalt. This report…
Optimising Project Delivery Performance (Accelerated Projects)
This report provides practical advice and examples of ways to successfully accelerate transport infrastructure projects and programs up to $500 million. An accelerated project or program has delivery expedited, typically in response to external…
Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risks in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes: Best Practice Review
This report is one of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…
Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risks in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes: Case Study Using DG-QRAM in the Australasian Context
This report is one of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…
Methodology for Comparing Dangerous Goods Risks in Road Tunnels to Those on Alternative Routes: Manual for Using DG-QRAM in the Australasian Context
This report is the second of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…
Heavy Vehicle Compliance with Speed and Mass Limits: Evidence from Weigh-in-Motion Devices
This project has involved the collection into a single database of all available WIM data and the interrogation of that database to provide information on speed and mass compliance by two selected vehicle types Results of this work must be treated…
A Review of Literature and Trials of Intelligent Speed Adaptation Devices for Light and Heavy Vehicles
The implementation of Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma in Australia and overseas. This report reviews the available literature and trials involving ISA from…
Economic Evaluation of Road Investment Proposals: Improved Methods for Estimating Australian Unit Crash Costs
This report demonstrates the usage of a methodology for estimating average crash costs for use in the economic evaluation of road projects by applying it to data for the State of Victoria to derive average costs for a range of casualty crash…
Implications of Intelligent transport systems for High Risk Road Users and High Risk Situations
High risk road contribute disproportionately to road deaths and injuries, and to the total costs of road trauma. The purpose of this study was to identify high risk groups in the driving population, assess the potential for ITS and in-vehicle…
