The National Transport Research Organisation builds upon 60+ years of innovative transport research and experience of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB). NTRO provides Australian and New Zealand government and industry with solutions to challenges across road, rail, ports and airports. NTRO develops new knowledge, innovation, standards and specifications to shape our transport future. We work with transport agencies, all levels of government, the private sector, mining and defence as the central hub of transport research, policy and project work. Our skillsets: •\tWorld-class, Australian-based transport research laboratory featuring state-of-the-art equipment for materials testing •\tSustainability & ESG •\tInfrastructure measurement services, including the iPAVE (Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle) •\tTransport safety, including data-driven road safety solutions •\tAccelerated Loading Facility (ALF) & pavement testing • Data collection & analysis •\tAsset management
I have to say that from what I have experienced during Road Safety Week, the campaign has been a huge disappointment. No obvious police presence (as usual), so no pulling over of drivers who fail to give way to buses, no pulling over of drivers who overtake then brake in front of buses to make a turn, no pulling over of any of the hundreds of drivers who habitually tailgate. Then, of course, at least TWO major crashes on the Mitchell Freeway. 'Road Safety' is simply not being taken seriously by the authorities and certainly not by car & ute drivers.
My own experience with compact roundabouts suggest they're little better than standard intersections due to drivers unwillingness to slow down through them, particularly when they view themselves as having more rights on the main highway verses side streets.
Indian Oil Co's has had gr8 success in use of waste plastics in Bitumen. You may also refer the codes set by Indian Road Congress SP-098 for addition of waste plastics to Bitumen in Road Construction.
That is the wrong room to record a video in. Between the drone of the machinery in the background and the reverberated sound bouncing off the walls, it made hearing what was said difficult.
I am sure ARRB will be working on the system to add on additional features that can measure the retro reflectivity of road sign boards, Road studs / cat’s eye etc. so that the data can be comprehensive and, every local Government divisions will be keen to procure a set.
this totally sucks ass, paving crews are now expected to lay this material, it stinks like burning tyres, and what tyres are the putting in the mix? are they made in china with additives that we know fuck all about? this is just a feel good exercise to "recycle" our rubber tyres, while we let the workers deal with the long term damage. and the idiots want to put plastics in the mix. lets super heat all this plastic and see how much vapor it can release on our workers. iv worked in this industry for 15 years, we all know how this shit is going to be handled by tanker drivers and plant operators. crumb rubber has been transported by tankers for a few years now, and what happens? it comes out of soloution and sticks to the bottom of tanks and clogs up the plumbing. so what do they do? they super heat it above limits to stop the shit from sticking, and then the workers have to deal with it... you are never going to get tanker drivers and asphalt plant operators from over heating the crumb rubber that high... its what they do.
Hello sir, I am Mamunur Rashid from Bangladesh. I have started my masters project which name is "use of waste plastic bituminous flexible pavement road Construction" do you help me to supply full manual books where mentioned the guide line how it's produced. or the other's research which is you have experienced your self. It will help me a lot and advance thanks to you.
Hii sir I want detail explanation of inventory concept in frame ratings so please give sir and continue frame rating factors are changed due to some issues These is also please explain sir ..
hi guys , i am producing crumb rubber Sir20 with a big quantity here in indonesia ... have 2 factories here. Please contact for any further information. my WA +6282118303819
Good, Which rubber, are you use? I am looking for company use the rubber in melbourne, Because I want sell natural rubber for that company, I hope you too. I will bring it from my family rubber farm, we have many types of products like as RSS3, TSR 10, TST 20, natural latex, high or low ammonia natural latex,......we will sell all of the rubber. If you need any of them or which one please let me know too, thanks My phone 0406 619 889. sinvireak@hotmail.com Address is 25 pharaoh drive cranbourne 3977. VIC. Thanks
Team ARRB is doing great work ...have a couple of questions: What is the layer thickness? What kind of mix design approach is used (i.e. dry mix or wet mix approach)? how much percentage of CR is used?
Great Info but its a very "Engineers death by Powerpoint overload. Make headers smaller than the main info text to allow people to focus on the important messages on each slide. Darken the background, White backgrounds don't allow the eyes to relax Use less info per slide (6 bits of text max). This allows the mind to instantly grasp the message. Offer a link to a paper for download that allows people to read the detail at their own pace. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iwpi1Lm6dFo.html <-----watch this link :)
I see your graph in relation to stages of licence where on learners the crash rate is very low, then there are 2 stages of P, Red and Green, not sure what that means. But what has concerned me for years, to gain a Pilots licence many hours are spent on simulators, yet to drive a lethal weapon no one other than the tester says yah or Nay to issue a licence. These inspections are done during day light hours. No driver is assessed on their ability to drive in all weather condition nor night time driving. I would assume many of the crashes in the Red and Green P platers are at night, or bad weather conditions. What is your thought Tia on this issue. cheers good watching this. Peter
The fundamental message is great - road deaths, injuries are shocking. For example, earlier in the year, in April, nearly as many people were killed on roads as were people killed in the horrific mosque killings. On the NZ roads, in April 2019, injuries were twenty times more people injured than the 45 deaths. And yet, this video was also incorrect. "It says Governments are doing all they can over the next ten years" [to reduce road trauma]. Sadly, tragically that is just not true. There is no Safe System, it remains and will remain aspirational with current approaches. There are still fundamentally incomplete, flawed aspects, based on skewed data. In fairness to government, there are immense challenges to all aspects of the Safe System, due to funding limitations, and other competing, often conflicting issues, including community and corporate demands. ARRB does great work, as does Austroads, ACRS etc. I am just listening to Jerome Carslake while typing this- he is an example of individuals within organisations, who are highly dedicated to road safety. But overall, there are major issues within the context of road safety in isolation, and then within the broader context of national transport and land-use policy, planning and development- all of these impact on, and limit, our combined efforts to reduce road trauma. I am happy to discuss and expand on this. Please contact me on email: petermac1984@hotmail.com. Peter Mackenzie TVT Transport Research
Great content. Any plans to make webinars a bit shorter? It is difficult to find 1 hr to view this at the time or after. Perhaps it could be structured into parts....
Great presentation, simple concepts really easy to apply. Definitely safety overall is tick a box, and the way to really resolve this issue is language. Thanks guys!
