The preservation of the road network at a high quality level is of great importance in the efforts towards integration of the European Union. The existing road network faces a number of problems, namely ageing, increased demand, and increased truck traffic. These problems are aggravated by recent economic trends and developments, which require tighter budgets to be spent on infrastructure. As a consequence, new techniques are sought to reduce costs without adversely affecting other performance criteria, such as efficiency, safety, and quality. Innovative techniques based on automation could bring about improvements at all Road Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance (RICM) stages and all work levels.
