TECHNICAL CONFERENCE PAPERS

Introduction

This website contains papers from the annual Technical Conferences of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) Transportation Group (IPENZ-TG).

The papers cover various aspects of land transport research and practice (particularly roading) and are peer-reviewed prior to presentation and publication.

There are 2 categories of papers :

Technical Papers - Longer and more comprehensive papers (8-12 pages) covering any relevant land transport subject, particularly those aligned with the particular conference theme.

Technical Notes - Up to 4 pages and generally on a very specific topic, e.g. a progress report related to an on-going project or a short sharp review of a completed project.

Authors also compete for three IPENZ-TG Awards:

NZAA award for Best Paper
Chairman's prize for Best Technical Note
Young Author's Award (for authors 30 years and under)
