Cover of Defining Applicability of International Standards for Intelligent transport systems (ITS): Final Report.
Defining Applicability of International Standards for Intelligent transport systems (ITS): Final Report.
  • Publication no: AP-R368-10
  • ISBN: 978-1-921709-49-4
  • Published: 19 November 2010

This is the final report of Austroads Project NS1524 that aims to address the need to improve Australian practice in Intelligent transport systems through greater knowledge and utilisation of international practices. The purpose is to identify those international standards for ITS, relevant to road agencies, that should be cloned or modified for adoption as Australian Standards.

The intended audience for this report is the membership of Austroads which comprises the state and federal road authorities in Australia and New Zealand. The members are responsible for the provision of the road transport infrastructure in their jurisdictions, and therefore need to know how and which ITS standards apply to the physical transport infrastructure that is to be constructed and/or equipped, and how and which standards apply to ITS services.

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.
