This report investigates the appropriateness of microsimulation modelling for the planning, operation and training of incident management in a road network. The methodology for this study includes a literature review and a modelling case study of…

Microsimulation traffic models (MSTMs) have in recent years become accepted as useful tools amongst road and transport authorities to analyse and identify solutions for traffic and transport planning. The synergy between information technologies and…

This report describes the results of a review of international literature undertaken in 2002 on the evaluation and application of intermittent overtaking lanes on two-way roads in rural traffic environments. This report also contains a comprehensive…

This document has been prepared by Austroads as a guide to the preparation and assessment of validation studies of traffic noise prediction models, and represents the final outcome of a project with the following key objectives: - the development of…

In the past traditional traffic management has focused on motor vehicles with minimal consideration given to other road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. As a consequence pedestrians and cyclists can often experience mobility constraints and…

This report examines methods by which demand for cycling under different conditions can be estimated, and provides a framework for analysing data to develop demand forecasts for bicycle use. The report is based on an international review of…

This report arose out of a need to improve Australia's urban transport modelling capability. It seeks to examine the failing of current transport modelling to meet demands, and to scope a range of priority topics for research and action to improve…
