Abstract

This consolidated report covers the ARRB TR research project RC7111 “Traffic Management Performance Measures” funded by Austroads (Project N.RUM.9805). This investigation set out to discover whether a Traffic Frustration Index which quantified the events which contributed to driver frustration would be a useful supplement to measures such as traffic speed and flow in identifying priorities for traffic management interventions and assessing the outcomes of such interventions.
