The purpose of this research was to develop improved approaches to assessing the costs of urban traffic congestion and to make corresponding estimates of the costs of congestion in Auckland (New Zealand). Various definitions of congestion were

The purpose of this research was to investigate if and how systems dynamic (SD) modelling could be used for understanding traffic flows at an interregional (state highway) level, in the context of improving understanding of the relationship between

interviews with tourist organisations in Te Anau and with tour operators who operate into Milford Sound. Some changes in tourist activity as a result of the road sealing have been identified, but changes to tourism expenditure or tourist numbers are not confirmed.

allowed for expected ranges of climatic and soil conditions, traffic volumes, the strength of the pavements and its age and condition to be considered. Six survey rounds have been completed on each of these LTPP sections. The LTTP programme pamphlet

This research project investigated the use of curve advisory speed signs in New Zealand. A literature review identified key issues to examine. Current traffic behaviour at the location of curve advisory speed signs was observed in order to determine

provides 95% certainty that the predicted value of skid resistance will be within ±0.08 MSSC of observed values. The model inputs are limited to PSV, HCV traffic, seal age and aggregate average least dimension (ALD). However, significant

An approach for deriving regional forecasts that are consistent with the national forecasts is also described. Keywords: Forecasting, modelling, New Zealand, ownership, roads, traffic, vehicles
