The report provides a literature review and research plan describing where further research is needed to quantify or value external effects, otherwise known as externalities, from the land transport system.

Potential economic disbenefits of dust emission from unsealed roads impact on crop production, animal food supply and health, accident potential, property values and maintenance costs, vehicle operating costs and personal health.

This report presents a state-of-the-art review of the use of thin surfacings over bound (cementitiously stabilised) pavement layers and develops a test protocol for future research, based on field evaluations of in-service trial pavements.

This rule sets out the requirements for the safety certification of traction engines and the qualifications required for users of traction engines.

The current AUSTROADS (1992) pavement design procedure used in New Zealand uses a basic assumption that suggests that a vertical compressive strain applied to any subgrade will cause the same amount of plastic strain to occur irrespective of the type…

The report describes the collection and analysis of heavy vehicle data with the objectives of developing appropriate procedures for establishing the design traffic parameter and determining traffic distribution design factors.

A research project was undertaken in 1999/2000 to review international evidence on user valuations of the individual components of public transport journeys, for use in forecasting the demand for and evaluating user benefits of public transport impro…

Bridge health monitoring is a method of evaluating the ability of a bridge to perform its required task (also called fitness for purpose) by monitoring the response of the bridge to the traffic loads it has to withstand.

This rule sets out requirements to ensure that heavy vehicles and heavy-vehicle combinations (over 3500 kg GVM) can brake safely, with balanced brake performance, at any road-legal load condition.
