This document is the compendium of technical abstracts for the 13th Malaysian Road Conference & Exhibition 2026 and the 6th International Road Federation Global Asia-Pacific Regional Congress. It is intended for road and transportation professionals, researchers, engineers, and policymakers attending the conference. The theme is 'Transforming The Nation Through Future-Ready Roads' and the event is jointly organised by the Ministry of Works Malaysia with principal and strategic partners.
The first section covers Parallel Session 1 on Transportation Engineering, with papers on user perception of hard shoulder running in Malaysia, intelligent transport system deployment, third-party access to controlled-access highways, AI-based autonomous shuttle integration, and infrastructure-based tyre monitoring for fleet safety. Parallel Session 2 addresses Pavement Engineering, including fatigue performance of fly ash-modified asphalt, crumb rubber modified asphalt, natural rubber…
Parallel Session 3 focuses on Bridge Engineering, with case studies on exclusive motorcycle lanes at Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, UHPC composite bridges under urban and coastal exposure, and bridge condition assessment using inspection data in Malaysia. Parallel Session 4 on Smart Technology includes papers on an autonomous solar-powered IoT flood early warning system, comparative analysis of VISSIM and SIDRA, sensor-based thickness control for asphalt pavement, autonomous…
Parallel Session 5 covers Road Forensic Engineering, with topics on sustainable pavement asset management, structural integrity evaluation of bridges using ambient vibration testing, classification framework for culvert-associated road failures, integration of electrical resistivity tomography and geotechnical methods for subgrade failure investigation, and interpreting pavement condition assessment results. Parallel Session 6 on Environment and Sustainability includes papers on functional…
Parallel Session 7 addresses Slope and Geotechnical Engineering, with papers on debris flow experience by PWD Malaysia, automated distributed fibre optic sensing for landslide monitoring, evaluation of shaft friction and end bearing resistance of caisson foundations, and performance evaluation of high impact energy dynamic compaction. Parallel Session 8 returns to Pavement Engineering, covering laboratory UV aging, pavement rehabilitation using IRI and FWD, warm mix asphalt effectiveness,…
Later sessions include Highway Engineering with papers on intelligent highway traffic data analytics, scalable road condition monitoring, climate resilient infrastructure design, rubberized fiber mixtures for noise reduction, and multi-speed deflectometer testing. The document also covers additional sessions on Slope and Geotechnical Engineering, Road Safety, Bridge Engineering, Smart Technology, Pavement Engineering, Asset Management, and Environment and Sustainability, each with multiple…
