This report presents the technical findings of a two-year study which sought to identify effective infrastructure improvements to reduce motorcycle crash risk and crash severity, based on how riders perceive, respond and react to infrastructure they…

This publication reports the literature review and statistical analysis stages of a project to investigate the relationship between disadvantage and road casualties.

This compendium presents information on speed as a contributor to urban arterial road crashes. It provides information on treatments that can be used to address speed at intersections and midblock locations.

This report examines the performance of different types of speed-reducing treatments (or combinations of treatments) in high-speed environments. The project also considered how desired speed can be aligned with a safe, anticipated operating speed…

This report proposes an assessment framework designed to help road agencies methodically consider Safe System objectives in road infrastructure projects.

Speeding is a major contributor to road injuries and fatalities and remains prevalent. Changing community perceptions about speeding is an important priority.

Austroads technical research project ST1863, examined whether a technical solution is available that can identify heavy vehicles, their speed and configuration, and provide appropriate early warning of unsafe operation on descents. The project was…

Motorcyclists represent an increasing proportion of road crash casualties in NSW and Australia. This study aimed to examine the:

This in-depth crash investigation study was conducted to provide information about the causes and costs of a sample of serious (hospitalised) injury crashes in NSW.

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.
