Webinar: Benefits and Costs of Providing a Minimum Physical Infrastructure Standard for the Operation of Automated Driving
Physical road infrastructure such as pavement markings and signals may have an important role to play to support the uptake of automated vehicles (AVs). Austroads has recently completed a project to provide road agencies with clear advice on…
Webinar: Maximising the Use of Sustainable Rehabilitation Treatments
This webinar, presented by Dr Negin Zhalehjoo, Andrew Papacostas and Dr Didier Bodin, focuses on the outcomes of an Austroads research project &ldquo
Surface Deviation Using a Straightedge
This method describes the procedure for obtaining a measure of the evenness of a pavement surface as determined by the deviation from a three metre straightedge. It is applicable only to the measurement of depressions in the pavement surface and to…
Verification Procedure for the Four-point Bending Test
The characterisation of the flexural stiffness and fatigue behaviour of bituminous mixtures in Australia and New Zealand is undertaken using a four-point bending (4PB) configuration. This document describes the procedures to be followed to verify…
Stripping Potential of Asphalt – Tensile Strength Ratio
This test method sets out procedures for the preparation of asphalt specimens and measuring the change in indirect tensile strength resulting from the effects of moisture and freeze/thaw conditioning. The results can be used to assess the propensity…
Laboratory Assessment of Asphalt Permeability
The test method outlines the procedure for determining the permeability of a water-saturated asphalt specimen in the laboratory using the ponding method. The test method was primarily developed for dense-graded, stone mastic and gap-graded asphalt…
Laboratory Fatigue Characterisation of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Materials
This report documents a project to develop a new laboratory fatigue relationship to predict the performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) materials. The project focused on extensive laboratory experiments including indirect tensile testing and…
Minimum Physical Infrastructure Standard for the Operation of Automated Driving
These reports provide guidance on infrastructure investment to help transport agencies achieve timely, consistent and adequate infrastructure readiness for the operation of current and future automated vehicles. Physical road infrastructure such as…
Agency Business Capability Model to Support Connected Vehicles
This report presents an agency business capability model to support connected vehicles. The model defines the required agency business capabilities and associated capability maturity target states from business and technology perspectives. Connected…
