The project was aimed at improving overtaking lane design through a better understanding of driver behaviour during overtaking.

Traditionally, treatment of frost, ice and snow on New Zealand roads has involved spreading of mineral grit on the affected areas but this has disadvantages.

Multi-lane roundabouts are typically viewed by cyclists as one of the most hazardous types of intersections to negotiate and police crash statistics bear this out.

This research project explores concerns about personal security by users of public transport.

The New Zealand government is seeking to reduce the number of road crashes that arise from driver fatigue in this country.

The purpose of this research was to develop a cost management tool that would assist road controlling authorities and their consultants to prioritise delineation treatments that have added safety benefits compared with standard road markings.

Between July 2004 and February 2006, research was continued on the safety implications of flush medians in Auckland, New Zealand.

Speed is a major contributing factor in fatal and serious crashes in the rural environment (35% of fatal and 28% of serious crashes in 2003).

The research systematically compared the driving performance and conversational patterns of drivers speaking with in-car passengers, handsfree cellphones, and remote passengers who could see the driver’s current driving situation (via a window into a…

Horizontal curves have been recognised as a significant safety issue for many years, a more important factor than road width, vertical clearance or sight distance.
