This report reviews current practices and research evidence on the co-location of three types of signs: direction signs (DS), variable message signs (VMS) and variable speed limits/lane control signs (VSL/LCS). An advanced driving simulator study…

This report examines the effectiveness of national and international programs that treat and rehabilitate drivers with alcohol dependence and the criteria used to approve the removal of interlocks.

This report documents research to determine if the size of electronic regulatory speed signs (ERSS), such as variable speed limit signs, could be reduced without adversely impacting efficiency of driving or safety.

This report improves the current approach to cost allocation, develops incremental pricing, and develops direct user charging. This report includes analysis of the relationship between road use and expenditure without considering road

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…

This report deals with the first component of the bridge assessment tool and is a scoping study to determine whether there is sufficient data, and whether there exists suitable engineering models, to develop robust and nationally uniform technical…

This report provides a traffic or logical architecture for the new controller. Austroads recognised the need to develop a new generation of traffic signal controllers, making use of modular, scalable design with an open architecture. Two key…

This report presents the findings of a Feasibility Study, conducted by Rapp Trans on behalf of Austroads, into procedural, technical and market issues associated with potential business models to support the reform of heavy vehicle charging in…

The purpose of this project is to provide an assessment of the impacts of the most significant types of road pricing schemes on road use, the economy and community. There has been little empirical research undertaken to gain a comprehensive…

This report includes the examination and recommendation of a five-layer framework to implement controller functions. The key benefit of this concept is the clear demarcation of functions. The proposed concept allows functions to be built logically…
