The Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) simulates heavy vehicle trafficking on pavement structures under controlled conditions, enabling rapid performance evaluation. Developed in Australia by the Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales, the ALF has been validated through long-term pavement performance studies. Over 25 years, it has conducted 250+ experiments, applying 32+ million load passes and simulating 300+ million Equivalent Standard Axle loads.
NTRO provides comprehensive asset management services that build upon the 60-year legacy of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), ensuring the long-term performance, safety, and sustainability of transport infrastructure. By integrating innovative technologies and predictive strategies, NTRO enables organisations to move beyond reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven decision-making.
NTRO's Best Practice Guides are essential resources designed to enhance the management and maintenance of road and bridge assets. Building upon our extensive research over 60+ years when NTRO was known as ARRB – the Australian Road Research Board - these guides offer practical advice to local government authorities, state and territory road agencies, and industry practitioners, promoting consistent and effective practices across Australia.
