- W1579509454 abstract "1. INTRODUCTION. Low volume roads carry low volumes of traffic which can be anything from a bicycle to afully loaded road train and these roads tend to be not well funded in comparison with themajor roads.The Northern Territory's road network consists of national and regional highways as wellas other roads linking the remote areas and major centres and majority of the roads in theAlice Springs Region are low volume roads.The aim of this project is to investigate and develop improvements to low volume roadmaintenance practices and procedures in the Alice Springs Region.2. BACKGROUND. During wet weather the unsealed roads become impassable and the communities that relyon the roads become impatient if the roads are impassable for longer than two days. Duringlong periods of dry weather patches of the unsealed roads deteriorate into bull dust and thepavement unravels due to the lack of moisture.Funding for low volume roads are limited and the increase of the Cyclical Maintenancebudget each financial year is in line with the CPI rate. Specific Maintenance projects arevery limited and capital works are very rare.3. OBJECTIVES. With limited funding and resources for low volume roads, effective maintenancemanagement should be able to provide a road surface that is of an acceptable standard tothe road user.The methods researched will be used to examine the cost implications and resourcesavailability.4. METHOD. The stages involved in the execution of the project include: - Review existing literature on road management practices, with particular emphasis on maintenance practices for low volume roads. - Gather data on low volume roads in the Alice Springs Region and factors which influence the deterioration of the road. - Collect and analyse data on the current maintenance practices in the region. - Evaluate and propose innovative maintenance practices that improve effectiveness and efficiency, and promote sustainable use of materials. - Interrogate and evaluate the implications of the cost and resources availability of applying selected maintenance innovations in the region.5. CONCLUSION. There is scope for improvement of the current cyclic maintenance methods used eventhrough there is associated problems with remoteness, availability of water and quality ofgravel." @default.
