The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current body of research for the incorporation of recycled material in pavements to inform updated guidance to the current Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology Part 4E: Recycled Materials. New…

This report presents the findings of a project that evaluates the fatigue performance of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) pavements under accelerated loading. Using accelerated pavement testing, the project evaluated three FBS host materials (100%…

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…

Asphalt pavements are a major component of the Australian and New Zealand road networks. Road agencies in Australia and New Zealand have been putting great efforts to produce pavements which perform and are long-lasting. This has led to the…

This report is an addendum to the Austroads Future Vehicles 2030 report (AP-R623-20), published in June 2020. Future Vehicles 2030 included forecasts of sales and fleet penetration for eight vehicle technologies or uses, including Automated Driving,…

This report describes research work into the development of a new test method utilising the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to conduct consistency 6% at 60 

The increasing pace of change of technology brings considerable promise of more data, of a higher quality, captured for a lower cost. This has the potential to improve the asset management of roads by enabling better decision making and providing a…

This report identifies and evaluates technology solutions that meet asset management needs relating to road pavement performance. The increasing pace of change of technology brings considerable promise of more data, of a higher quality, captured for…

The addition of a small amount of cementitious binder to non-standard granular materials may result in a fit for purpose base or subbase at a significantly lower cost than crushed rock complying with standard specifications. Such lightly bound…

There is a need to improve Austroads procedures for the structural design of pavements containing lightly bound cemented (LBC) materials. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the performance of Queensland pavements with LBC…
