Austroads Guide to Traffic Management (AGTM) has been a valuable resource for industry, particularly amongst traffic engineering and operations cohorts. The transport context is evolving rapidly, and a strategic review identified that a new approach…

This study aims to set a clear plan for the evolution of the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management to ensure it continues to meet the needs of users and remains a critical resource for member agencies and industry. The study was undertaken over…

Network operation planning aims to guide the day-to-day operation and development of the road network. These management activities are regularly completed and documented through the development of Network Operation Plans (NOPs), which link policy…

This report sets out the process, findings and recommendations relating to current network operation planning practices in Australia and New Zealand. The resulting material has been used to develop a Reference Material Toolkit / Library to help…

This report reviews the tools that monitor, measure and evaluate the performance of the road network, for both arterials and freeways. The interest in measurement and evaluation tools for the overall network is mainly driven by the need to operate…

This report presents the definitions and calculations of five new network performance indicators. These indicators are measured on-line with the use of freeway and arterial traffic control systems. These systems provide 24-hour 7-day traffic data at…

This Austroads project was initiated to enable road authorities to develop a better understanding of how various traffic management tools and proposed operational changes to the road network affected the performance of the entire road network, with…

Integrated tools can be a toolbox of technologies and procedures which combine both hard engineering methods such as the use of shoulders and lane access controls as well as dynamic traffic management tools such as ramp meters, incident detection,…

The objective of this report is to identify and document the findings, experiences and issues associated with the application of various road space allocation tools available to road managers. These tools are used to maximise the effectiveness of…
