Pilot-Study for the Evaluation of a Mobile Full-Size Accelerated Pavement Testing Equipment (ASTRA2004/018)
Overview
Background & policy context:
Due to the fact that the existing circular test track of ETHZ on the area of EMPA has to be demolished and replaced, a general research and purchasing project EMPA/IGT 2004 has been established which includes a project to evaluate and test a new mobile full-scale accelerated surface testing equipment as a first step.
Objectives:
Evaluation and practical aptitude test a giant mobile pilot plant for accelerated traffic load simulation on road surfaces at a scale of 1: 1 to replace the breakable stationary concentricity conditioning ETHZ on the site in accordance with EMPA research and procurement concept.
Methodology:
The duration of the project is set at one year. New mobile large experimental facility for accelerated traffic load simulation on road surfaces in Switzerland will be purchased. The project has the following milestones:
1. Milestone (2 months) Preparation of specifications
2. Milestone (2 months) Product screening and on-site inspection
Milestone 3 (2 months) completion of the planning and design of pilot tests
4. milestone (4 months) implementation of pilot projects
5. Milestone (2 months) Reporting
