This report reassesses the benefits and impacts of using High Productivity Vehicles (HPVs) and proposes a method to consistently quantify pavement vertical loading of an individual vehicle design.

This report provides a reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) strategy and framework to manage intelligent transport system (ITS) assets.

This study assessed how charging regimes could increase high productivity vehicle (HPV) access, using three case study insights.

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 report improves the current approach to cost allocation, develops incremental pricing, and develops direct user charging. This report includes analysis of the relationship between road use and expenditure without considering road

This report deals with the first component of the bridge assessment tool and is a scoping study to determine whether there is sufficient data, and whether there exists suitable engineering models, to develop robust and nationally uniform technical…

This report presents the findings of a Feasibility Study, conducted by Rapp Trans on behalf of Austroads, into procedural, technical and market issues associated with potential business models to support the reform of heavy vehicle charging in…

The purpose of this project is to provide an assessment of the impacts of the most significant types of road pricing schemes on road use, the economy and community. There has been little empirical research undertaken to gain a comprehensive…
