Abstract

Roads and pavements represent one of the largest civil infrastructure assets in Canada. Preservation of these assets and providing adequate levels of service constitutes a challenge with technological, environmental, resource, financial and political/social dimensions. A new initiative directed to the technological, environmental and resource areas, involving an integrated laboratory and field facility and research program, has received an unprecedented level of federal, provincial, municipal, private sector and university support. The overall structure for the integrated facility and program is described in the paper, as well as the key priority areas within the program. These areas have been grouped into: (a) innovative structural and materials technologies, (b) advanced computer applications related to roads, (c) pavement construction, preservation and sustainable development, and (d) pavement and roadway safety. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211271.
