Question

Difference btw low volume and high volume pavements

Answer 1

The ROADEX Project is a technical co-operation between roads organisations across
northern Europe that aims to share roads related information and research between the
partners. The Project was started in 1998 as a 3 year pilot co-operation between the roads
districts of Finnish Lapland, Troms County of Norway, the Northern Region of Sweden and
The Highland Council of Scotland and was subsequently followed and extended with a
second project, ROADEX II, from 2002 to 2005. and a third, ROADEX III, from 2006 to 2007.
The partners in ROADEX III “The
Implementation Project” comprised public
road administrations and forestry
organizations from across the European
Northern Periphery. These were The
Highland Council, Forestry Commission
Scotland & Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar
from Scotland, The Northern Region of
The Norwegian Public Roads
Administration, The Northern Region of
The Swedish Road Administration and
the Swedish Forest Agency, The Savo-
Karjala Region of The Finnish Road
Administration, the Icelandic Road
Administration and the Municipality of
Sisimiut from Greenland.
A priority of this Project was to take the collected ROADEX knowledge out into the Partner
areas and deliver it first hand to practising engineers and technicians. This was done in a
series of 14 seminars across the Partner areas to a total audience of 800. Reports were
translated into the 6 partner languages of Danish, Icelandic, Finnish, Greenlandic,
Norwegian and Swedish as well as English. ROADEX research continued through 5
projects: measures to improve drainage performance, pavement deformation mitigation
measures, health issues of poorly maintained roads, road condition management policies,
and a case study of the application of ROADEX methodologies to roads in Greenland. This
report is a sub-report of Task B2 “Permanent Deformation” and has been done in close
collaboration with the Task B2 sub-task “Tyre Pressure Control on Timber Haulage Vehicles”
the results of which are presented in a separate report. All of the reports are available on
the ROADEX website at www.roadex.org
