Research Note 004 Evaluating the greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits from land transport mode shift programmes and projects

Published:
Category: Environmental sustainability , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

This research note identifies a variety of land transport mode shift programmes that have demonstrated reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), primarily through changes in vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT).

Research Report 102 Recycling of waste oil distillation bottoms in asphalt

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

A field trial of hot mix asphalt using distillation residues was undertaken to investigate the potential of bitumen extenders for use of the vacuum distillation residues (called 'waste oil distillation bottoms' or WODB), produced during the…

Research Report 103 Use of rumble strips as warning devices on New Zealand roads

Published:
Category: Safety, security and public health , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

A review of the international literature was undertaken in 1994 to identify the types of rumble strip available, situations where and how they are used, their effectiveness in reducing accidents and modifying driver behaviour, their adverse effects s…
