This test method defines the procedure for measuring the surface macro-texture of road pavements, determined by the direct measurement of the road surface profile using a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for conducting repeatability and bias of measurement checks for rut measurements made by a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for performing validation checks of the measurements of pavement rutting determined using a laser profilometer, by comparing them to the measurements from a static or manual reference device.

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement surface texture measurement using a laser profilometer.

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the rutting of road pavements, determined by the direct measurement of the transverse profile of the road surface using a laser profilometer. The device must be capable of producing an accurate…

This specification provides minimum equipment, calibration, validation and survey method requirements for the conduct of network level pavement rutting measurement using a laser profilometer.

The Austroads Network Operation Planning Framework (the Framework) was developed in 2009 however it is not widely used by road agencies. This research aimed to understand each road agency’s approach and consider how the Framework could be improved…

Congestion in Australian cities has continued to get worse with significant increases in population and new car registrations. About a million new motor vehicles per year were registered in Australia in the years 2005-2007 before the global…

The purpose of the study is to recommend an ongoing Austroads research programme that is focussed on the impacts of the increasing volume of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and rigid trucks (Rigids) on the urban traffic network in terms of their…

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the deflection response of road pavements using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD).
