In order to develop appropriate deterioration models for local roads in Australia the ARRB Group (ARRB) initiated a study to establish a large number of sites across Australia on which pavement performance is to be monitored over 5 years. The sites selected are aimed at being representative of local road pavements covering a range of roads types, including both sealed and unsealed roads, climatic conditions, traffic loading, soil types, construction techniques and maintenance practices across Australia. The paper outlines the study being undertaken by ARRB. It describes the method used to gain national support for the study, selection of appropriate pavement performance indicators, collection methods employed, the number of monitoring sites established in each State/Territory and some interim results to date.
