This report documents a harmonised Austroads product acceptance process for ITS products in the road network. The process covers six steps including determination of performance requirements based on agreed key performance indicators (KPIs),…

Signalised interchanges and ramp metering are major components of the interface between the arterial road system and the motorway system. The control systems of motorways and arterials are often treated as separate control components, which can…

This study looked into four on-road public transport (ORPT) priority treatments including: full bus lane (FBL), set back bus lane (SBBL), queue jump bus lane (QJBL) and no priority (NP). Microsimulation traffic modelling (MSTM) is a useful tool for…

Accessibility is broadly defined as the variety of opportunities provided to people through efficient arrangement of land use and various modes of transport. It measures the ease with which people are able to find and reach the best suited…

This paper considers how several recent pedestrian-oriented bridges, all on Auckland’s Western Ring Route, provide new connections or re-establish severed connections between communities. As the architect involved in these bridges, I will also…

Priorities in bridge engineering are changing. The imperative has shifted subtly from minimum cost to “more for less”, requiring a more holistic approach to sustainable delivery which offers best value to the economy and society as a whole over the…

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

This test method defines the procedure for validating the distance measurement performance of vehicles conducting road condition monitoring surveys (e.g. inertial laser profilometers, Falling Weight Deflectometers, etc.).

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the maximum deflection and curvature of road pavements using a deflectograph.

The current practice of balancing traffic density or distributing traffic evenly in a road network is essentially subjective and is achieved manually through expert opinions. This report summarises these expert opinions and investigates whether…
