This test method sets out the procedures for the determination of consistency, consistency 6%, stiffness and elastic recovery of polymer modified binders (ARRB elastometer), under specific conditions of deformation, using the elastometer developed…

This report examines literature, Australian crash data and Australian vehicle registration data to re-examine the role of vehicle mass and vehicle type in determining crash outcomes. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to discussions about…

Heavy vehicle freight transport in Australia is expected to double by 2020, as compared to 2000 levels. In New Zealand, similar growth in heavy vehicle transport is anticipated. The greatest impact from this growth will occur around urban areas…

Previous Austroads research has identified that there is a lack of reliable information regarding the effectiveness of different road safety engineering treatments.

This report discusses infrastructure and traffic management issues identified in an examination of approximately 700 crash investigations conducted in metropolitan and rural areas of South Australia. Current traffic management and engineering…

The main purpose of the current study was to determine the extent to which a pre-existing medical condition or acute medical event was a contributing factor in crash causation for a representative sample of casualty crashes. The study involved…

Austroads study (RS.SS.N.018) identified fatigue as a major contributing factor to rural and remote crashes, and recommended that research be undertaken to address this issue. As a result ST1347 was initiated to identify innovative treatments that…

This method describes a procedure for determining the particle size, shape and contaminants of crumb rubber.

Intersection crashes are one of the more common type of crash that may occur in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that may contribute to intersection crashes and methods that may be used to prevent…

Run-off-road crashes result in a high number of serious casualty crashes in rural environments. It is therefore important, within a Safe System, that factors that contribute to this type of crash and methods that may be used to prevent them from…
