Meeting road safety targets will be assisted by the deployment of a range of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technologies which are already available or which will become available over the next few years. A recent Austroads study involved a…

This report reviews current developments in infrastructure-based safety-related ITS, documents their status in Australia and New Zealand, and makes recommendations for future developments in this area. A literature review is presented in which…

This report presents the case for a secure frequency band of 5.850 to 5.925 GHz (referred to as 5.9 ITS ) for cooperative intelligent road transport systems that provides critical road safety and traffic efficiency outcomes. The report is the final…

This report describes the concept and definition of level of services (LOS) for specific road users that include on-road public transport, high occupancy vehicles (HOV) and emergency vehicles. It reviews current practices to improve their LOS and…

This report provides information on emerging technologies to improve the LOS of on-road public transport (ORPT), high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) and emergency vehicles (EVs). A list of measures and technologies is compiled from this and earlier…

This report has reviewed ITS literature and information provided by industry to identify and establish the potential of candidate technologies to reduce undesirable interaction between freight vehicles and other traffic on metropolitan networks. The…

This report analyses the existing vehicle fleet mix and forecast future fleet growth and reviews the appropriate indicators for the level of service for freight vehicles. It also compiles the current practices in improving the efficiency of freight…

The Intelligent Access Program (IAP) is a voluntary program that remotely monitors heavy vehicles using telematics

High risk road contribute disproportionately to road deaths and injuries, and to the total costs of road trauma. The purpose of this study was to identify high risk groups in the driving population, assess the potential for ITS and in-vehicle…

Describes a forecasting and scenario-testing model for freight flows between regions of Australia (by 16 commodities, by all modes).
