Objectives of research
Main objectives:
Main objective of this contract is to develop an integrated road pavement maintenance system. Two groups will look at two different system levels: the PAV-ECO group will focus on a project level, the RIMES group at network level. For the RIMES group, the following more specific objectives can be distinguished: - An integrated network level management model for use by policy makers in order to determine maintenance standards and strategies, appropriate budget levels, and allocation of funds between competing network maintenance needs. - A work programming model for preparing optimal road infrastructure maintenance programmes under constrained budgets, based on the prionciple of maximisation of economic benefits. - Optimum maintenance standards and strategies for different road classes in EU countries, based on the resultss of life cycle cost analyses. - Guidelines for road infrastructure data collection requirements. For the PAV-ECO group, the following specific objectives can be distinguished: - A method to evaluate life-cycle costs of road maintenance. - Several cost performance models, required to apply the above method.
