Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) investigated what accelerated pavement testing (APT) has been conducted to date that has successfully established links between laboratory testing and field performance or which, for a variety of reasons, has failed to establish links. This will provide background to TMR staff regarding the appropriate, and inappropriate, use of APT and also inform decisions regarding the use and interpretation of information obtained from APT testing which can be implemented once an APT device commences operations in Queensland.
