Evaluation of Measures and Technologies used to Improve the Level of Service of On-Road Public Transport, HOV and Emergency Vehicles
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…
Optimum Use of Granular Bases: Material Selection for Detailed Performance Evaluation
The objective of this report is to provide data relating the laboratory repeated load triaxial test (RLT) results to field performance and to develop procedures for incorporation of RLT test results into performance-based specifications and…
ITS Technologies for Metropolitan Freight Vehicle Operations: A Literature Review
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…
Intelligent Access Program: Operational Guidelines: Overview
The Intelligent Access Program (IAP) is a voluntary program that remotely monitors heavy vehicles using telematics
Development of Performance-Based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials: Part A: Issues and Recommendations
The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
Development of Performance-based Specifications for Unbound Granular Materials Part B: Use of RLT Test to Predict Performance
The Austroads Member Authorities (AMAs) are developing a Performance Based Specification (PBS) approach to the specification of unbound granular materials in Australia and New Zealand. There has been general agreement to adopt the engineering…
Implications of Intelligent transport systems for High Risk Road Users and High Risk Situations
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…
Pavement Strength in Network Analysis of Sealed Granular Roads: Basis for Austroads Guidelines
This technical report resulted from a study to develop Austroads guidelines on network level assessment and analysis of data on pavement structural condition. This report outlines the benefits of network level assessment of the structural condition,…
Dust Laying with Bitumen Emulsions
This Pavement Work Tip describes the use of bitumen emulsion for dust laying on unsealed granular pavements to reduce dust nuisance, maintenance costs and loss of pavement material.
Economic Evaluation of Road Investment Proposals: Valuation of Benefits of Roadside ITS Initiatives
This report is a guide to the approach and parameters for valuing road user benefits for use in economic evaluations of roadside Intelligent transport systems (ITS). It complements the Austroads Benefit Cost Analysis Manual. The objectives of the…
