Road Owners Getting to Grips with Climate Change |
Technical, transport, climate change |
The research program aims at providing road authorities all across Europe with knowledge and tools to oppose climate change. In road management, design rules have to be adapted, data collection must updated and risk management methods are to be developed. |

State of the art of likely effect of climate change on current roads, ENR SRO3 report, October 2009 |
Technical, road maintenance, climate change |
This report shows how the predicted climate change will affect highways. If temperatures rise and precipitation increases, present design theory and construction techniques will have to be amended to accommodate for differences in climate. |
