Austroads: Transport Research and Trends
Government
Austroads is undertaking a multi-stage project to support road transport and traffic agencies across Australia to manage the impacts of third-party assets on the successful delivery of road infrastructure projects, including road projects with a rail interface. To form an effective, evidence-based strategy and action plan, the project included international literature research, jurisdictional consultation and four road infrastructure project case studies.
This webinar with Robert Eames, Nicola Boyd, David Bourne and Maria Drysdale presents the research findings and where change is required to improve the efficient delivery of major infrastructure projects when third-party assets are involved. One key element proposed is a national minimum dataset of information to monitor third-party impacts on road infrastructure projects.
The collection and reporting of high-quality data is essential but depends on stakeholders sharing cost information so that value-based decisions can be made across the whole project. Measurement of costs associated with utilities on projects will permit analysis of past events which will lead to two beneficial outcomes:
Road Cross-Section Design for Road Stereotypes and a Safe System
Pedestrian Planning and Design for Activity Centres
Pedestrian Planning and Design at Intersections
Midblock Crossings for Pedestrians
Transitions Between Steel Beam and Concrete Barriers
Road Space Allocation for Pedestrians
Opportunities to Build Capacity in Traffic Management
Development of Design Procedures for Lightly Bound Cemented Materials in Flexible Pavements
