Overview
Objectives
HEROAD will investigate the holistic process (the combination of individual components, levels of assessment and the inclusion of a life cycle perspective) to incorporate new challenges in the field of asset management. This includes:
- Reviewing data collection, assessment and reporting regimes
- Taking into consideration new challenges (climate change, traffic configuration, new materials, LCC and the focus on road user expectations)
- Identifying and assessing the key technical components of these regimes and further determining whether they are the best practice or not
- Identifying and describing indicators at different assessment levels (for road operators, complicated technical parameters are okay, for decision makers and the public, more understandable indicators that could be built from combination of technical parameters are needed)
- Selecting the key good parts of Heroad findings and providing advice to the customer on how they could use them
Methodology
This will be achieved by taking onboard experts from the different areas of road assessment in the project. Further by putting together a consortium with a good geographical spread to cover the trans-national objective and take differences in high and low traffic volume roads into consideration. Traditional methods with literature search and interview with stakeholders/experts will be done, however the main information and data will be gathered at a HEROAD workshop.
