This research report presents a review of overseas legislation, technology trends, market and safety analyses for low-powered, low-speed vehicles.

Providing a safe, comfortable, cost-effective visual environment to help drivers navigate rural roads requires a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of different delineation devices, materials and treatment configurations.

Research was undertaken at WSP Opus Research in 2018 to investigate evidence from field studies supporting the performance benefits of polymer modified binders (PMBs) in thin asphalt and chipseal road surfacings.

The purpose of the research was to establish a quantitative picture of the type and the extent of drugged driving in New Zealand and investigate the level of driving impairment produced by the most commonly used drugs, both legal and illegal.

Uncertainty is pervasive when it comes to transport investment decisions.

In 2017 we developed a system dynamics model to study inter-regional freight and traffic flows in the Auckland–Hamilton–Tauranga triangle.

A methodology was developed with which to produce regional input-output tables for New Zealand.

Data is required for destination management, both of current visitor activity and future activity.

In New Zealand heavy vehicles are charged for using the road based on the damage caused passing over the road.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the expectations, motivations, experiences, information preferences and behaviour of visitors (both domestic and international) travelling on New Zealand’s transport network.
