Objective
On the 1st May 2004 the Czech Republic became one of the 25 member countries in the enlarged European Union. Its unique location at the centre of Europe between Austria, Germany, Poland and Slovakia makes it an important transport crossroad (both figuratively and literally speaking) between the old and new EU Member States. This has greatly increased the demand on the transport infrastructure (e.g. the volume of heavy trucks increased by 40% within the first weeks of joining the EU).
In response to these new demands; the Czech Republic is seeking solutions to reduce the damaging effects of the increased loads on the transport infrastructure. The main focus is on the development and application of new technologies for managing the transport infrastructure. This is being undertaken by the Transport Research Centre (CDV) which used to be a part of the former Czechoslovak Federal Transport Research Institute and has been undertaking research in the transport field for more than fifty years.
Currently CDV is the only research institute under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport that specialises in transport issues. CDV experts play a considerable role in the design, construction, and maintenance of highways and highway structures, including developing relevant technical standards. Currently the focus is on design, construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges. Building a new area of competence concerning the innovative methods of transport infrastructure technologies and management (TITaM) at CDV is to be supported through the TITaM project.
