This report extends the Austroads network operation planning framework to address transport accessibility issues.

This project has developed guidance on how signal management and operation should be undertaken to realise the intent of network operation planning and achieve the desired performance outcomes for road users.

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 report provides a generic framework for the management of road-related assets. In recent times, road agencies have made a shift from being road builders to road managers. This change has ensured that road agencies need to accept responsibility…

Failures of traffic signals can lead to crashes and loss of productivity. As the road network gets more congested, the sustained operation of traffic signals becomes even more critical. The effective management of traffic signal assets therefore…

The purpose of this report is to identify new technologies that are potentially useful for asset managers and develop guidelines for the application of selected new technologies for asset/risk management. This report covers the first stage of the…

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…
