2002 - Australia - Heavy Vehicle Mass: Measurement Allowances and Breakpoints

Austroads, the association of Australian and New Zealand road transport authorities, therefore commissioned a study to look at the setting of minor risk breakpoints and the measurement allowances that should apply to the enforcement of mass limits. This report summarises the results of that study. The study considered Australian and overseas practices and analysed Australian vehicle axle mass statistical data in order to estimate the effects of changes to measurement allowances and breakpoints.
