Sustainable Roads Through Fit‑for‑purpose Use of Available Materials: Evaluation Tool and User Guide
This guidance document aims to encourage fit‑for‑purpose use of available materials for sealed and unsealed road construction and maintenance, including renewal of low to medium level traffic roads. A fit‑for‑purpose material has properties and…
Sustainable Roads Through Fit-for-purpose Use of Available Materials: Technical Basis
This report documents the findings of an Austroads project which aims to encourage sustainable roads through fit-for-purpose use of available materials. The research addressed the use of marginal and non-standard materials in both sealed and…
Long-term Pavement Performance Study: Final Report
This report summarises the outputs and benefits of the long‑term pavement performance (LTPP) study which ran from 1994 to 2018 and was funded by Austroads. The study had four primary objectives: to enhance road asset management strategies by 
Level of Service Requirements for Freight on Rural Roads and Refinement of Heavy Vehicle Roughness Band Index
Following on from previous work, the purpose of this project was to complete an investigation of subjective ratings of ride quality of A, B and C roads in Victoria while driving a passenger car and a range of heavy vehicles.
