When the Rider, not the Rubber, Hits the Road

Austroads: Transport Research and Trends ·

2023/06/20

Can motorcycle protective clothing really prevent serious injuries in motorcycle crashes? Over the past 20 years there have been great advances in the technology of impact and abrasion resistant materials and yet many of the garments currently available will fail under average crash conditions or are too hot to be worn in warm climates. In the absence of effective standards, motorcyclists have had to rely on advertising, brand name or price when buying protective garments. This webinar traces the

Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme Update

Austroads: Transport Research and Trends ·

2023/06/15

The current learner approved motorcycle scheme (LAMS) was introduced in NSW in 2002 to replace the 250cc engine capacity limit for novice riders (i.e., those on learner and provisional licenses) as race replica 250cc motorcycles were over-represented in fatal and serious injury (FSI) crashes. It was subsequently adopted by VIC, QLD, SA, NT, WA, TAS, and New Zealand, albeit with some amendments in some jurisdictions. A formal review of the LAMS has not been performed since its introduction. This

Multimodal Incident Management Reference Architecture

Austroads: Transport Research and Trends ·

2023/05/05

Austroads has developed a set of reference architecture models, content and guidance for use by road agencies to identify, plan and improve their multimodal incident management (MMIM) capabilities. MMIM is the resolution of an unplanned incident that negatively impacts, or has the potential to impact, the normal operation of more than one transport mode. MMIM aims to maintain transport services and minimise journey disruptions in day-to-day transport operations. It involves a coordinated response

Austroads: Transport Research and Trends ·

2023/04/26

Austroads has recently completed a project to identify best-practice guidance for the design, delivery and testing of in-tunnel aesthetic design features, with the aspirations to improve tunnel safety and customer experience. Through the review of recent tunnel projects, current literature and practices, a definition was developed for in-tunnel aesthetic design features and a best-practice process through which in-tunnel aesthetic design features are designed, delivered, and tested.

2023/04/24

Listen to the latest episode of Roads Australia's podcast with Dr Sarah Jones, who is Project Director for the implementation of Austroads' Road Asset Data Standard (RADS). Data offers a world of opportunity to underpin the delivery of transport services that are more aligned with customer experiences. When it comes to the management of transport infrastructure and assets, data is a powerful tool that lets us plan and deliver those activities more effectively. However, all of this relies on

Asphalt Laboratory Fatigue Relationships

Austroads: Transport Research and Trends ·

2023/03/22

The Austroads mechanistic-empirical design system documented in Part 2 of the Guide to Pavement Technology uses a laboratory fatigue relationship previously developed by Shell to predict the fatigue life of asphalt layers. The Shell fatigue relationship was developed over 40 years ago based on testing a selection of asphalt mixes from Europe and the USA. The mixes used to develop the original relationship are therefore unlikely to represent the modulus and fatigue behaviour of modern mixes

2023/03/17

The Department of Transport and Planning Victoria has announced 30 June 2023 as the final deadline to have smart on-board mass (OBM) systems fitted to certain high productivity freight vehicles (HPFVs). Beyond this date, the mass limits of the below classes of vehicles will be restricted if not fitted with Smart OBM: vehicles more than 26m in length, with a Gross Combination Mass (GCM) in excess of 68.5 tonnes quad-axle semi-trailers with a GCM in excess of 46.0 tonnes This webinar, presented by

2023/02/21

Austroads has published practical guidance to help expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in pavement asset management. AI/ML projects are notoriously prone to failure, including late or incomplete delivery, or even being abandoned without useful outcomes. This webinar, presented by Tim Cross and David Rawlinson, is the first one in a two-webinar series. It describes the tips, tricks and success strategies we have found to avoid the common pitfalls and ensure AI/ML

Decisions on how transport agencies provide for people walking to safely cross the roads has been greatly influenced by historical research, that has in the past failed to examine the infrastructure design and lacked behavioural data. This webinar, presented by Mark McDonald, Principal Technologist (Bicycles, Pedestrians and Motorcycles) at the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, looks at the different types of pedestrian crossing controls, behavioural responses of both drivers and
