This method sets out the procedure for determining the spread rate of cover aggregate delivered from a mechanical aggregate spreader.

This method describes the procedure for the determination of the quantity of binder absorbed by an aggregate. The volume of aggregate is determined from its bulk particle density in a saturated surface dry condition. The volume of binder free…

This standard sets out the method for determining the Average Least Dimension (ALD) of aggregate particles by the use of vernier callipers or dial gauge or a slotted gauge. The method is applicable to aggregate of nominal size 10 mm and greater for…

Asphalt characterisation tests require equipment that is well maintained and correctly adjusted. The procedures described in this document will provide a means of verifying that a Gyropac gyratory compactor is in a suitable working condition to…

The purpose of this project was to assess the productivity benefits achieved by companies as a result of improving the safety of their operations, particularly in relation to safer driving. The objectives were therefore to identify safety programs…

Road design plays a major role in road safety, however, has generally not taken the older road user into consideration. There is therefore a need to take effective action to reduce risk levels to older drivers by designing roads that accommodate…

Most Australasian jurisdictions remain committed to school-based road safety education (RSE) programs in both the primary and secondary sectors. Whilst the difficulties of conducting outcome evaluations appear daunting, the magnitude of the…

The purpose of this document is to maintain and improve the validity and harmonisation of estimates of non-urban road user costs (RUCs) in Australia. Australian road agencies use a range of models to estimate RUC’s for use in investment evaluation,…
