ARRB/NTRO is proud of its work with NACOE – our joint initiative with Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads – and sharing our research learnings. Some fresh learnings on recycled materials in road building will be shared in a free webinar on Tuesday, September 19 from 11am AEST. Dr Javad Yaghoubi from ARRB/NTRO will present, and TMR’s Principal Engineer Peter Reynolds will be on hand for a Q&A session as part of the live webinar. Opportunities to use waste materials in earthworks and drainage applications can be a huge help in getting the balance right between the demand for natural materials and aggregates, and the boom in road infrastructure “big builds”. We’ll explore this in the free webinar tomorrow. More information on the webinar, and registration details, can be found via the link below. #road #construction #infrastructure #recycled #materials #NTRO #NACOE https://hubs.li/Q022tLfc0

The Western Australian Road Research Innovation Program (WARRIP) is a collaborative research initiative between Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) exploring cutting edge research in pavements and surfacings, asset management, road safety, sustainability and structures. Find out more about the project below which intends to assist in the development of improved technical guidelines that would see an improvement in product performance and an increase in the number of suitable applications for usage of crumb rubber modified binder technology in WA. #WARRIP #ARRB #innovation #sustainability #crumbrubber #road #research #transport #technology

Fantastic news that our joint initiative with Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads, the National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) won the Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA) Queensland award in the Innovation category. This was for NACOE's P105: Implementing Intelligent Compaction into Queensland project. Here's (from left): ARRB/NTRO's Joe Grobler and Sam Afkar and TMR's Julie Mitchell with the AfPA Innovation Award. Congratulations to the entire team who worked on this excellent project. #intelligentcompaction #pavement #road #Queensland #innovation

Austroads has prepared important guidance for the evaluation and reporting of automated vehicle trials. This guidance seeks to improve consistency in evaluation and reporting as an enabler and contributor to improved knowledge sharing across jurisdictions. ARRB/NTRO’s David Green and Transoptim Consulting director Andrew Somers will present an Austroads webinar on Thursday, August 3, from 1pm AEST. It will provide an overview of how the Austroads guidance was developed, and the guidelines themselves. It will assist those who may wish to apply the guidelines to evaluating and reporting their AV trials. ARRB/NTRO has been the primary advisor on Connected and Automated Vehicle safety certification, vehicle licensing and insurance framework, training and technology development in Australia and New Zealand for nearly a decade. We have worked on many CAV trials across a variety of use cases – truck automation, light vehicles, shuttles, and defence among them. The Austroads webinar is free, but registration is essential. You can do that here https://hubs.li/Q01XdDnb0, and find out more about ARRB/NTRO’s mobility futures work here https://hubs.li/Q01XdGBF0 .
