This report reviews the different ways road managers assess the pavement impacts of Performance Based Standards (PBS) vehicles and presents a framework and findings that support the development of nationally consistent infrastructure assessment…

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 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…

The freight industry is critical to the economy, and for many sectors it is heavy vehicles that underpin freight movements and prosperity. The average age of trucks in Australia and New Zealand is among the highest in the developed world. The oldest…

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…
