Lunar X prize teams are competing to be the first non-governmental spacecraft to soft land on the Moon. All the teams have small budgets that are severe restrictions for mission designers. Hence it is necessary to rely heavily on historical data...

The process of calibrating and validating all types of transport simulation models (micro, meso or macro) is a labour intensive and costly process. There have been a number of theoretical advances in methods for efficient testing and running...
Read more Motorway owners and operators are now using improvements in travel time reliability (a reduction in travel time variability) as an added benefit of motorway use and a key performance indicator (KPI).This paper introduces a novel use of the...

The main benefit to engineering practice of using industrial mathematics is in the application of mathematical or statistical thinking to a problem. Industrial mathematics is the field that explores industrial processes and systems, seeks the...
Read more Engineers responsible for road traffic engineering should consider the use of industrial mathematics so solve complex problems, particularly where conventional software programs are not available or do not work. At the Australian Centre for...

The current valley upsidence and closure prediction methods were first published in 2002, following completion of ACARP Research Projects C8005 and C9067. These methods use conservative empirical prediction curves, which were drawn above all of...

Ground strain comprises two components, being normal strain and shear strain, which can be interrelated using Mohr’s Circle. The magnitudes of the normal strain and shear strain components are, therefore, dependant on the orientation in which...
Read more This paper describes a statistical framework to be used in a set of simulation and modelling guidelines. The framework was developed out of the necessity for defensible study results by the application of rigorous statistics. It is the result of...
Read more We present the results of a collaborative RTA-MASCOS research project that is working to provide (1) a methodological framework for analyzing simulation outputs, and (2) a framework to inform the design stage of a simulation study. The project...
Read more In a recent edition of the Gazette, Graeme Wake [1] wrote of the success of indus- trial mathematics as something that, like the crest of a wave, is about to ‘break through’. In this article I would like to inform AustMS members of projects al...
