  2. 1. Tyre/road interaction : A holistic approach to the functional requirements of road surfaces regarding noise and rolling resistance

    Author : Tiago Vieira; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Ulf Sandberg; Tony Parry; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road; surface; noise; rolling resistance; tyre; mitigation; Vägbeläggning; vägyta; textur; buller; rullmotstånd; däck; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : Increased fuel consumption, increased greenhouse gas emission, diminishing real-estate prices and increased health issues are some of  the negative effects on the climate, on the environment and on the society from tyre/road rolling resistance and noise. The first two aspects are affected by energy dissipation in the tyre/pavement contact and are related to rolling resistance. READ MORE

    Abstract : Luftburna partiklar (PM) är ett problem för människans hälsa, där flertalet samband mellan negativa hälsoeffekter finns mellan luftföroreningar finns, bland annat för respiratoriska sjukdomar, lungcancer och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar med flera. I länder där dubbdäck används, till exempel Sverige, Finland och Norge, och sandning av vägar och gator genomförs vintertid för att säkerställa god friktion kommer en betydande andel av partiklarna från vägslitage och nedkrossning av sand vilket bidrar till PM10.

  5. 3. Measurements for winter road maintenance

    Author : Mats Riehm; Per-Erik Jansson; Eros Pasero; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; winter road maintenance; sensors; infrared thermometry; energy efficiency; road salt;

    Abstract : Winter road maintenance activities are crucial for maintaining the accessibility and traffic safety of the road network at northerly latitudes during winter. Common winter road maintenance activities include snow ploughing and the use of anti-icing agents (e.g. road salt, NaCl). READ MORE

  6. 4. A Bayesian approach to retrospective detection of change-points in road surface measurements

    Author : Fridtjof Thomas; Urban Hjort; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Change-point detection; retrospective view; autoregressive processes; minimal imaginary training sample; road surface measurements; international roughness index; rutting; Laser-RST vehicles; road maintenance; pavement management; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : First-order autoregressive processes are analysed for sudden changes in parameter value. In its most general form, a multivariate vector of measurements is allowed, and no prior knowledge about the involved parameters is required. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cycle paths’ degradation processes and surface condition assessment

    Author : Martin Larsson; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Anna Niska; Inge Hoff; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction design; cycle paths; degradation; distress modes; maintenance; municipalities; survey; cycling comfort; road surface measurements; surface evenness; surface texture; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, both from individual- and societal perspectives, e.g., better health from an increase in physical activity, lower levels of pollution and congestion. However, there are also some potential problems with such a shift. READ MORE
