Breath-alcohol vehicle interlock : TARU 7/80

Investigations by the New South Wales Department of Motor Transport's Traffic Accident Research Unit over the past two years, into ways of reducing excessive drink-driving, have led to the firm conclusion that the best approach is one covering a wide front which should include some means of attempting to change the behaviour of drivers and riders directly, rather than relying entirely on attempting to change their attitudes to drink-driving which is particularly difficult when riders and drivers are already under the influence of alcohol. This view has received support both in Australia and overseas, but no effective method of changing behaviour directly has been developed so far.
Tenders are invited for the design and supply of three prototype interlocks for fitment to motor vehicles. Lach interlock shall determine the level of alcohol concentration by analysing a deep lung sample of breath of a potential driver and shall prevent vehicle operation at a predetermined level of alcohol. Each successful tenderer will be required to design and supply three units in accordance with the requirements below. The tendered units will be evaluated by the Department, or by its representatives. This specification is intended to serve as a guide to requirements.

Driver and rider education training and licensing : a brief review : TARU 4/81

Relevant research related issues are briefly examined. The known influence of experience implies the possibility of effective education and training. At present, however, there is no sound evidence to show that effective programmes exist, to support the suspicion of a special effectiveness for motorcyclists, or to suggest that a licence test is an effective crash countermeasure - either as a selection device or as an incentive for pre-licensing education. Great expenditure on fairly ineffective measures results in loss of opportunity to benefit from more effective, mainly engineering, measures. Longer term driver behaviour research seems to have a high priority.

Driver education : TARU 6/79

Driver education schemes may be divided among three groups: (a) Basic training. This provides the skill necessary to drive the vehicle, and the information on road rules necessary to obtain a licence to drive. This training is given usually by relatives, by friends or by a commercial driving school. (b) Safety education. This involves educating drivers, either before or after licensing, to drive with consideration for the safety of themselves and other road users. It includes "defensive driving" as taught by the Department of Motor Transport's Traffic Accident Research Unit, aimed at teaching drivers to avoid getting in to hazardous situations. (c) Advanced driving. Usually taught by professional competition drivers, this involves increasing driving skill with the object of driving out of hazardous situations. This paper is not concerned with basic training, but with (b) and (c) above.

Trip generation and parking demand surveys : child care centres : data report

The former Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) published its Guide to Traffic Generating Developments ('Guide') in the mid-1990s. This document drew on the results of a number of trip generation and parking demand surveys covering a wide range of business and land uses. These surveys had been progressively conducted since 1978. The trip generation and parking requirement data in the Guide is becoming increasingly out-of-date, with the last analysis being conducted in 1992. Given the significant expansion in the child care sector in recent years, there is a need to collect fresh trip generation and parking demand data at this land use to assist with traffic impact assessment and planning. TEF Consulting was appointed to undertake a detailed trip generation analysis of child care centres.

Child restraints : preliminary information on usage and attitudes : TARU 2/75

The legislation making it compulsory for vehicle occupants to use approved restraints does not apply to children aged under eight years. Observation surveys of usage have indicated that the proportion of child occupants who are restrained by child seat, harness or seat belt (either approved or unapproved) is around 25%, compared to 75% of adult occupants.* Clearly children aged under eight years remain a vulnerable group as far as vehicle crash protection is concerned. It is important that people's knowledge of and attitudes to child restraints be researched, to find out why the usage rate is so low. This consumer information is essential for developing educational programmes to promote child restraint use. It is also of great value to designers to have consumer feedback on current approved models. We need to identify any problems experienced with their everyday use, so that restraints can be made practical and comfortable, as well as safe. This will increase their acceptability for parents and children, and so increase the usage rate. As the first step in this consumer research programme, a series of six group discussions on the subject of child restraints were conducted, in February 1975, with mothers of children aged six months to three years. These discussions were to provide guidelines only, and findings should not be generalised to the community as a whole. The discussions served a dual purpose. They provided, background data for (a) the development of a publicity campaign to promote the use of approved child restraints and (b) the development of a questionnaire for use ?in a proposed community survey of child restraint usage and attitudes.

Representations report : Western Sydney Orbital : volume 3 : appendices 12 to 25

The Western Sydney Orbital (WSO) is a proposed motorway 40 kilometres long , extending from the Hume Highway/F5 Freeway/M5 Motorway at Crossroads/Prestons in the south to the M2 Motorway at West Baulkham Hills in the north. The WSO is proposed to become part of the National Highway System in Australia, replacing the congested Cumberland Highway as the route through Sydney. In addition, the WSO aims to improve traffic within western Sydney by connecting Sydney's existing motorways (the M5, the M4 and the M2) and thereby completing a large section of the Sydney Orbital Road Network. The RTA has prepared this Representations Report. It responds to the representations that were received and outlines modifications to the Proposal in order to mitigate the environmental impacts. It also provides a summary of mitigation measures and other commitments.
