At RSDH, we specialise in assessing, planning, and optimising heavy vehicle routes to ensure safe, efficient freight movements across regional, urban, and industrial networks. Our assessments are grounded by best practice guidelines and supported by our extensive research experience in heavy vehicle performance, access frameworks, and infrastructure design.
​
We take a first-principles multidisciplinary approach, evaluating road geometry, intersection layouts and alignment with vehicle performance capabilities and road design parameters to identify constraints and fit-for-purpose measures to facilitate safe heavy vehicle operations. This approach combines road design, safety engineering, and asset management principles to deliver practical solutions that balance network capability, consideration of crash risk, and freight efficiency.
Whether supporting local governments, port authorities, mining operators, or freight operators, our input to your route assessments will help ensure heavy vehicles operate safely within the road environment while maintaining asset longevity and regulatory compliance.

Some published examples of our research and technical guidance inthe road design discipline are as below. This is further supported by our Director and Principal Consultants' current delivery of the Austroads project 'Road Design Guidance for Large Freight Vehicles'.
