Visioning the Coral Sea Marine Park bathymetry survey (FK200429/GA4861)

This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Visioning the Coral Sea Marine Park bathymetry survey using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems.
Visioning the Coral Sea Marine Park bathymetry survey (FK200429/GA4861) was led by Dr. Rob Beaman (James Cook University) and a team of scientists from Geoscience Australia, The University of Sydney, and the Queensland Museum, aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor, from the 29th of April to 11th of June 2020.
The primary objective of the survey was to map in detail the Queensland Plateau, including the steeper reef flanks and target the enigmatic seabed features, like the numerous drowned reef pinnacles and long meandering channels on the plateau surface. The second objective of this survey was to investigate the extent of the bleaching on the mesophotic or deeper reef, and if these reefs could act as a potential refuge for the Great Barrier Reef. The survey also aimed at providing insights into the geological evolution and biodiversity of Australia’s marine frontier. 
This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

Samphire Marsh No. 1 Well Western Australia Of West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited

Samphire Marsh No. 1 Well was drilled to a total depth of 6664 feet as a stratigraphic and structural test in the South Canning Basin.

The drill passed through 120 feet of Quaternary silt and limestone, 2124 feet of Mesozoic sandstone and siltstone, 1811 feet of Permian marine beds, partly of glacial origin, and 2541 feet of Lower Ordovician shale with sandstone at the base. The drill encountered Precambrian granite at 6610 feet, confirming the geophysical estimate of depth to basement.

None of the sediments present in the well are considered likely to be a source for hydrocarbon accumulations. No signs of hydrocarbons were seen in this well.

Deaths on motorcycles :  a study of 120 fatalities : TARU 5/70

Report forms concerning the deaths of 120 motorcycle riders in traffic crashes in New South Wales have been studied. Most of those killed were young men. Deaths were particularly common after 6:00pm and at the weekend. In many cases a colliding vehicle had not been aware of the motorcyclist’s presence. Any measure which would make motorcycles more easily visible, such as the constant burning of headlights, should have a beneficial effect. Head injury was very common. If 100 per cent of motorcyclist in New South Wales wore helmets, rather than the 75 per cent as at present, the death rate would be cut by about 35 percent.

A study of measures to reduce injuries to pedestrians : TARU 5/72

Pedestrian involved accidents constitute a significant proportion of all traffic accidents, and the number of injuries per accident in pedestrian accidents is approximately three times the number of other types of traffic accidents. As with other types of accidents, pedestrian accident countermeasures can be applied to the human body, the vehicle and the environment, during the pre-crash, crash and post-crash phases. This paper is primarily concerned with reducing injuries to pedestrians through a study of the vehicle during the crash phase of pedestrian accidents.

Byrons Lane to Shark Creek, Southern Section, Highway upgrade : review of environmental factors

The Pacific Highway is the principal road transport corridor between Sydney and Brisbane, the alternative inland route being the New England Highway. The Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) has identified that the existing section of the Pacific Highway between Byrons Lane and Shark Creek near Tyndale is of a lower standard than the highway to the north and south. The RTA is consequently proposing a major upgrade for this section.

Determination of swept paths of vehicles : TARU 3/70

When a vehicle, after travelling in a straight line, is driven along a curve, the path swept by the vehicle increases in width. This paper describes a means by which the swept paths of vehicles may be determined by means of a mathematical model; the method also enables the path followed by any point on the vehicle to be described in mathematical or graphical from. Discussion is given of various aspects of the practical application of the method. Experiments have indicated that the method describes vehicular swept paths with an error of less than half of one percent. Some graphical examples of swept paths of vehicles are included.

Trip generation surveys high density residential car based : data report

Roads and Maritime Services, NSW commissioned Bitzios Consulting to undertake a trip generation and parking demand survey and analysis of Car-Based High Density Residential buildings. The Road’s and Maritime Services Guide to Traffic Generating Developments – 2002 (hereafter referred to as the Guide), contains traffic generation and parking demand information based on surveys completed in 1993. This has recently been updated in a 2013 Technical Direction of the Guide based on a 2012 study. Roads and Maritime Services recognised that previous studies have looked at sites generally close to high frequency - high capacity public transport. In recent years there has been a trend towards higher density residential developments along corridors not necessarily well serviced by public transport. Roads and Maritime Services identified that new data is required focusing on residential developments that are considered “Car-Based” due to potential differences in the trip generation and parking generation compared to developments in public transport orientated centres

Driver training, not the whole answer : TARU 8/81

This paper discusses the value of existing driver training and education programmes and concludes that further research is required in order to find ways of motivating drivers to drive safely. Methods used in developing safety measures, based on scientific investigation of crashes, are described and measures such as seat belts shown as of especial value. In comparison with the trend in vehicle occupant deaths before seat belt wearing was made compulsory (in 1971) New South Wales saved about $110 Million in economic terms as well as 400 lives in the single year 1980. It is suggested that professional driving instructors should set examples to their ;upils and should teach them (1) Never drink-drive (2) Always be properly protected (by belt or helmet) (3) Never exceed speed limits (4) Never show off driving skills (5) Never drive when depressed, worried or tired, and (6) Never undertake long tiring trips.

The role of child restraints and seatbelts in passenger deaths of children aged 0-12 years in NSW

Road crashes are one of the main causes of injury-related deaths of children in NSW. It is well known that factors such as speeding, fatigue, and driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs are significant risks on the road. We also know that despite the strong message to ‘buckle up safely’, children continue to be placed at risk through failure to use – properly or at all – seatbelts and child restraints.

Child restraint field study : TARU 7/77

This report deals with an in-depth study of 149 children who were ostensibly restrained in preparation for crashes, and who actually experienced collisions of the passenger cars in which they were travelling. Children in child restraints approved by the Standards Association of Australia received nothing worse than minor injury. Similarly, restrained bassinets gave moderate protection. Seat belts supplied for adults tended to be worn very loosely by children and in that condition did not provide adequate restraint. Most of the injuries sustained were to the head region following contacts with car interiors. Recommendations are made for improving crash protection.

Drinking and driving : sociological aspects : TARU 2/72

In providing the means for mobility for countless thousands of people in this highly urbanised and affluent society, the highway system must perforce cater for many individuals whose quality of performance is relatively low. This may be temporary or permanent, and precipitating factors can include inborne incompetence, age, illness, and most importantly of all, the ingestion of alcohol. Because alcoholic intoxication has emerged as the prime factor in increasing the risk of traffic crash, the combination of drinking and driving has not only become the subject of intense and careful study over recent years but has also precipitated in most motorized countries the introduction of a variety of legislative controls with the basic objective of reducing crash rates. A great deal of information still needs to be gathered, however, some preliminary data from a New South Wales study of drink-driving practices and attitudes are reported.

Census of motor vehicle licences in New South Wales December 1971 : TARU 1/73

In New South Wales, details of all classes of motor vehicle licences except the 16,000 Metropolitan taxi licences were in 1971 stored on 80-column, 12-zone punched cards in the Department of Motor Transport. The cards were normally used for mechanical issue of renewal notices and for use by police and other authorized bodies requiring information about licence holders, the latter involving manual reference to the cards. Transfer of these and other records to the storage media of a large computer is in progress but, for research purposes and for the information of those in other States who might find a detailed breakdown of value, it was considered that a detailed census of licences was required before the large computer would make possible random access to the data bank. In New South Wales a Class 6 licence is required in order to entitle the holder to ride a motor cycle, and one of Classes 1 to 5 to drive a motor car (including derivatives such as panel vans, utilities and station sedans), a tractor or a light truck. Thus, two licences may be held at the same time. Classes 2 to 5 confer additional privileges:- Class 2 Hire cars, hire vans and country taxis. Class 3 Heavy rigid trucks. Class 4 Omnibuses and heavy rigid trucks and those vehicles covered by Class 2. Class 5 Articulated vehicles, and pole trailers and those vehicles covered by Class 3.
