The application of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) to permanent structures carrying roads and/or pedestrian traffic, such as highway embankments, bridge abutments and retaining walls, is rapidly increasing worldwide, because of its cost-effectiven…

A research project undertaken in 2001 reviewed the latest research on mobility and accessibility benefits of public transport services.

It is difficult to obtain reasonably accurate information on the demand for public transport (PT) in New Zealand cities.

This study, carried out in 1998, investigates hazards that have the potential to close the Desert Road, which traverses for some 60 km the Central Volcanic Plateau of the North Island, New Zealand, at around 1000 m altitude.

This project was undertaken in 1997–98 to prepare two sets of provisional environmental guidelines for roading contractors carrying out road works in New Zealand.

This report follows on from Opus Report 95-526264.01, which recommends a test procedure for New Zealand basecourse materials.

The correlation between road roughness, as measured by the NAASRA roughness meter, and the profile factor, measured by profile beams, was investigated between 1992 and 1995.

Experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and performance of electromagnetic loops and feeder lines used in road vehicle detections systems were carried out to determine causes of erratic behaviour of loops, and to improve their performa…

A research project was undertaken in 1996/97 to review issues and practices relating to the valuation of travel time savings in New Zealand and internationally, and to develop an appropriate framework and an outline market research programme for esta…

In urban areas with relatively low population densities and high car ownership, as in New Zealand, 'park and ride' (P+R) is a potentially powerful urban transport policy tool.
