Abstract

ustroads, the peak organisation of Australasian road transport and traffic agencies, has identified the lack of an agreed road transport management framework across the member organisations. Underpinned by key principles, such framework based on contemporary leading practices and techniques will enable an integrated and harmonised approach to strategic planning, network operations, road safety, asset management and land use planning along with transport and vehicle technology."br" Through stakeholder consultation and workshops, 15 guiding principles have been developed within a broader scope of managing and balancing mobility, safety, infrastructure and transport technology requirements to achieve the goal of enabling a safe, efficient, reliable and sustainable road transport system. This paper offers a discussion and analysis of the interconnectivity of the multifaceted principles within a road transport management framework.
