This report collates research into factors contributing to the incidence and severity of rear-end crashes in urban and rural environments in Australia and New Zealand. It also identifies a number of possible pertinent mitigation measures.

This report is part of a project to determine the crash rates on different road stereotypes. It provides an analysis of all injuries from road crashes occurring in all Australian jurisdictions and New Zealand over the period 2001-2010. It explains…

This report provides updated unit costs and price indices used to estimate environmental costs in the economic evaluation of Australian road infrastructure and transport projects.

The Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) helps road agencies identify fatal and serious injury (severe) crash risk across all parts of the road network. ANRAM helps road agencies manage this risk through development of treatment…

This report collates research into factors contributing to the incidence and severity of run-off-road and head-on collisions on urban roads in Australia and New Zealand. It also identifies possible measures to reduce the incidence and severity of…

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…

This publication reviews current methodologies for estimating vehicle operating costs (VOC). Recent Austroads work (TP1349) highlighted the need to improve the VOC-road roughness relationship. This report achieves this by conducting a literature…
