2. 1. Road Design for Future Maintenance : Life-cycle Cost Analyses for Road Barriers

   Author : Hawzheen Karim; Björn Birgisson; Ulf Isacsson; Rolf Magnusson; Robert Thomson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road maintenance; road management; road planning; road design; life-cycle cost; road barrier; guardrails; cable barrier; road traffic injuries; barrier collisions and barrier repair costs.; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; Vägprojektering för minskade drift- och underhållskostnader;

   Abstract : The cost of a road construction over its service life is a function of design, quality of construction as well as maintenance strategies and operations. An optimal life-cycle cost for a road requires evaluations of the above mentioned components. READ MORE

4. 2. Energy Efficiency in Winter Road Maintenance - A Road Climatological Perspective

   Author : Lina Nordin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Road climate; RWIS; frost; snow; fuel consumption; heavy-duty vehicles; route optimisation programme; energy efficiency; winter road maintenance;

   Abstract : Practices in winter road maintenance are dependent on the climate and weather impacting roads and the road users’ requirements. As in many other fields of transportation, it is of interest to investigate fuel efficiency potentials in the different aspects of the road maintenance area. READ MORE

5. 3. Monitoring winter road friction using floating car data

   Author : Sofia Sollén; Johan Casselgren; Mikael Sjödahl; Hawzheen Karim; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Floating Car Data; Winter Road Maintenance; Tire-to-Road Friction; Road Safety; Vision Zero; Intelligent Transport Systems; Experimental Mechanics; Experimentell mekanik;

   Abstract : More than a million people die every year due to road traffic accidents globally where one in five serious or fatal accidents occurs during severe weather conditions. Sweden is in the lead of Vision Zero, with the aim of zero casualties due to road traffic, and every year new countries and organisations accept the challenge of saving lives. READ MORE

6. 4. Multi-year maintenance optimisation for paved public roads - segment based modelling and price-directive decomposition

   Author : Per-Åke Andersson; Per Olov Lindberg; Torbjörn Larsson; Jonathan Bard; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; road maintenance optimisation; price-directive decomposition; Optimization; systems theory; Optimeringslära; systemteori;

   Abstract : I avhandlingen studeras hur kostnadseffektiva underhålls- (uh-)planer för belagd väg kan genereras, på basis av information om aktuellt vägytetillstånd och funktionella modeller för kostnads- och tillståndsförändringar, delvis utvecklade i samarbete med svenska Vägverket (VV). Tilltänkt användning är på strategisk och programnivå, innan mer detaljerad objektinformation finns att tillgå. READ MORE

7. 5. Operation and maintenance performance of rail infrastructure : Model and Methods

   Author : Christer Stenström; Rommert Dekker; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance Engineering;

   Abstract : Congestion of roads and sky, increasing energy costs and a demand to reduce emissions, have created a need to shift transportation from road and air to rail. Consequently, rail utilisation is increasing, adding stress to the rail infrastructure and time constraints to maintenance. READ MORE
