Meet the challenges of road infrastructure asset management
The effects of increasing traffic, climate change and need of safety as well as the need of well-being has to be met by even more effective road management. A holistic approach covering a lifetime view of road keeping (e.g. LCA) and preserving the assets is essential. The challenge Europe is facing is to use environmental friendly materials and technologies providing a sustainable and safe road infrastructure system.
The conference will cover all aspects of the road infrastructure including assets such as pavements, engineering structures and road equipment.
