Improving Urban Transport Demand Models and their use
  • Publication no: AP-R164-00
  • ISBN: 0 85588 551 3
  • Published: 1 January 2000

This report arose out of a need to improve Australia's urban transport modelling capability. It seeks to examine the failing of current transport modelling to meet demands, and to scope a range of priority topics for research and action to improve travel analysis. The report outlines the current status and uses of models, and in the light emerging expectations the report suggest the "gaps" in current procedures. The report also makes recommendations for further investigation and researc

New Austroads vehicle classification scheme to reflect the evolving mix of vehicles on Australian and New Zealand roads

Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme to improve understanding and monitoring of the changing vehicles on Australian and New Zealand roads. Founded on the 1994 Austroads vehicle classification scheme – Austroads-94, the new, updated classification system known as Austroads-23 presents guidance on how to record active travellers, allows for more granularity of vehicle types, and explains potential additional pathways to classification using new technologies as they become feasible and available.
