Movement
The Australian Road Research Board provides services relating to the operation of transport networks including roads, freeways, car parks and related technologies.
We investigate the strategies and technologies for efficient and safe movement of people and freight.
For example ARRB provides services and advice that address issues such as:
- the performance and measurement of a road traffic system so that congestion can be managed equitably and in real time
- determining needs for vehicle detection, classification and identification, and the best technologies to meet those needs
- evaluating available technologies and schemes for telematics applications
- determining the sort of road advisory information that should be conveyed to travellers and how it can be provided
- improving the productivity and reliability of arterial and freeway networks
- improving the level of service for trucks, on-road public transport vehicles and emergency vehicles
- evaluation of the costs and benefits of ITS solutions and parking technologies and schemes
- macro- and micro-simulation modelling studies
- improving safety and efficiency of off-road car parks.
The network operations team works closely with ARRB’s transport safety and traffic, transport economics, transport planning and management and heavy vehicles teams to develop tailored solutions that meet client needs.
