Overview

Background & Policy context

The following set of projects are based on four interactive sub-projects:

1. Research and Innovation (Long term performance and durability of low-noise pavements; optimisation of this type of pavements).

2. Validation (Insitu - control of the research and laboratory results on pilot sections).

3. Long term monitoring and succes control.

4. Incentive program.

For the initial phase it is crucial:

  • To define the necessary framework of the project considering institutional, scientific and financial aspects;
  • To proceed and conclude the call for tenders in order to dispose of the necessary management organisation of the project.
Objectives

The goal of this project is to develop a further incentive for the application of low-noise pavement in urban situations. This project will base upon the actual scientific knowledge and on the results of the ongoing research projects, due to be completed by the end of 2008.

The purpose of this mandate is to dispose of an external cooperation in order to define the framework of this project and prepare the call for tenders for the project management mandate.
