"ROlling resistance, Skid resistance, ANd Noise Emission measurement standards for road surfaces" (ROSANNE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The main objective of this project is to advance the harmonization of measurement methods for skid resistance, noise emission and rolling resistance of road pavements and prepare for standardization. In this the project will follow the recommendations of key predecessor projects like TYROSAFE, HERMES, SILVIA and MIRIAM. The project aims at performing prenormative research to enable the creation o ...

PoroElastic Road SUrface: an innovation to Avoid Damages to the Environment (PERSUADE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Low-noise road surfaces are recognized as a cost-effective tool for traffic noise abatement. The best performance can be achieved by optimizing surface texture and porosity. That way, a bottom line of a 3dB lifetime average reduction with respect to ordinary asphalt has been reached. Any progress must resort to another noise-relevant characteristic i.e. elasticity by which the noise due to tyre v ...

Visible LIGHT Active PhotoCATalytic Concretes for Air pollution Treatment (LIGHT2CAT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The goal of Light2CAT is to develop new, highly efficient visible-light-activated titanium dioxide for inclusion in concretes to be used in structures across the whole of Europe to improve ambient air quality independent, for the first time, of local climate conditions. The need to improve air quality in European Countries has been identified as a major requirement to be achieved within the next d ...

Re-road – End of life strategies of asphalt pavements (Re-road)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The majority of the European roads are paved with asphalt material. The dismantling and end of life strategies for these pavements are very divergent among the EU member states and the associated countries. In general the share of recycling the reclaimed asphalt in new asphalt courses is rather lower than it could be technically. The Re-road project aims to address these problems with a holistic ...

East West Transport Corriodor II - a green corridor concept within the Northern Transport Axis approach (EWTC II)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Sep 8, 2012,

The EWTC II project started in 2009 and was a follow up of the EWTC project completed in 2007, with the overall aim to highlight the development of a ”Green Corridor Concept” as a best practise case in the European context. Green transport corridors are defined as a concentration of freight traffic between major hubs and by relatively long distances where short sea shipping, rail, inland waterways ...
