The effects of increasing traffic, and climate change, and the need of safety as well as the need of well-being have 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 environmentally friendly materials and technologies providing a sustainable and safe road infrastructure system.
The conference will cover all aspects of the road infrastructure including the sub-assets pavements, engineering structures, and road furniture and equipment.
