Konferens: HVTT12: International Symposium on Heavy Vehicle Transport Technology, 2012, Stockholm

This paper presents a discussion on the productivity gains that have been achieved in Queensland through the expansion of the Performance Based Standards (PBS) road network relevant to PBS Level 2B vehicles. Typical vehicle designs which are allowed under Level 2B are presented and their benefits discussed, alongside the background and a description of the route assessment process that has facilitated their introduction. Some practical experiences with the operation of these vehicles are also provided.
