This project forms part of an ongoing Austroads strategic research program to improve the understanding of the relationship between crash risk and road elements. This report provides a summary of the relationship between crash risk, and geometric…

Passive control railway level crossings within the road network pose a significant safety issue, both for trains and multi-combination vehicles (MCVs) and restricted access vehicles (RAVs0. In order to have provision for the larger MCVs and RAVs,…

An appraisal and evaluation framework has been developed which provides a nationally consistent approach to appraisal and evaluation of TDM measures. This framework will provide a basis for more informed choices between non-infrastructure and…

This project had its origins in an earlier project which showed that crash rates increased at extremes of horizontal and vertical geometry, and were lowest with narrow sealed shoulders. This paper reports an investigation based on the original…

While truck tracking characteristics are a primary consideration for intersection geometry and curve widening practices, most road geometric design standards, particularly alignment design standards, are based on the performance characteristics of…

This paper reports a study which brings together information on road geometry (curvature and grade), cross-section, traffic flow and crashes. It allows the influence of these other factors on road crashes to be assessed in ways not possible before.…
