Pavement performance modelling for New Zealand roading networks, currently relies on an adjusted structural number (SNP) which is a single parameter intended to describe the performance of a multi-layered pavement structure in terms of its rate of de…

A rapid method has been developed to evaluate the night lighting conditions at a road site in terms of the performance values of the Road Lighting Code.

This research explores the potential for the ‘network-planning’ approach to the design of public transport to improve patronage of public transport services in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

This study provides guidance on vehicle emission factors (VEFs) for loads of copper and zinc discharged in road runoff, and the performance of stormwater treatment devices for removing these metals and total suspended sediments (TSS).

A comparison of the road accident rates between five cities in New Zealand was undertaken between 1989 and 1991.

Cycling is a sustainable mode of travel and an alternative to motor vehicle trips, particularly for shorter trips.

Operational requirements, vehicle dimensions and mass limits, other regulations and road user charges all influence on the type of vehicle used for passenger and freight transport in New Zealand.

The management of speed is considered an important safety issue at roundabouts.

In early 2008, Ian Wallis Associates, together with Pinnacle Research & Policy Ltd (Carolyn O’Fallon) and Transport Futures Consultancy (Don Wignall), were contracted by the NZ Transport Agency to develop regional targets for three of the six nat…

To enable the improvement of the modelling of pavement response and performance, the measurement of full-scale tyre surface contact stress distributions in all three of the coordinate directions was undertaken.
