Interest in the application of macroscopic models for the description of improvements in traffic safety has increased since the early 1980s.

The research identified how the physical noise and vibration generated by traversing ATP roadmarkings was influenced by the properties of the roadmarkings, such as their height, width and pitch, as well as by other factors, such as vehicle speed.

This research, undertaken 2008–10, investigated the comparative safety of multi-lane roundabouts versus signalised intersections, pedestrian facilities, vertical deflection devices and visibility to the right.

Research was undertaken to convert a National Land Transport Demand Model to a Regional Land Transport Demand Model.

This report describes a GIS-based road stormwater screening (RSS) model developed to upgrade and widen application of the NZ Transport Agency’s 2007 vehicle kilometres travelled screening tool.

The purpose of this research was to consider a cost–benefit analysis framework for public policy development that takes account of the potentially distinctive costs and benefits of intelligent transport systems (ITS) projects.

This project investigated the effect of different maximum trip speeds for six New Zealand routes.

Recent research both in New Zealand and Australia has identified the benefits associated with the installation of various barrier types and in particular the significant benefits associated with wire rope barriers (WRBs).

The fatigue cracking behaviour of laboratory prepared chipseal beams and beams cut from field samples was studied using a four-point bending test method.

The purpose of this research was to identify the barriers to using tyre-derived crumb rubber in bitumen binder in New Zealand roading and the methods to remove these barriers to create market demand for New Zealand waste tyre-derived products.
