1. De-icing salt and the roadside environment : Air-borne exposure, damage to Norway spruce and system monitoring
Abstract : After decades of investigation, we still have to deal withthe problem of environmental effects of the use of de-icingsalt on roads. Lacking useful indicators of the system, westill do not know the environmental utility of ameliorativemeasures taken. READ MORE

2. Road profile statistics relevant for vehicle fatigue
Abstract : Road profiles are studied from a vehicle fatigue point of view. A wide range of roads have been measured: from smooth motorways to very rough gravel roads. It is observed that the road profiles consist of irregular sections, which makes the stationary Gaussian model unsuitable (Paper A). READ MORE

3. A study of vehicle fatigue damage predictions based on state estimations
Abstract : Individual health monitoring of heavy vehicles is one of the keystones on which an optimized utility of a vehicle fleet is based. For many components mounted on the chassis of a heavy vehicle, failures due to fatigue is a major concern. READ MORE

4. Motorists´evaluation of road maintenance management
Abstract : The road network is extremely valuable. Road Administrationsare expected to invest maintenance funding in a way thatreturns maximum benefit to road users. Cost-benefit analysis isone method to ensure that an adequate return in terms ofbenefits results from committing expenditure. READ MORE

5. Ice free roads using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature: Thermal properties of asphalt concretes and numerical simulations
Abstract : A traditional method to mitigate the slippery conditions of a road is to spread out salt and sand on the road surface. However, salting causes corrosion on the road infrastructures, damage to surrounding vegetation and salification of fresh water. Hence, there is a need for alternative solutions to mitigate the slippery conditions. READ MORE
