The Australian Road Research Board’s latest masterclass will guide participants through smart design, asset measurement and the importance of building safer roads.
There are more cars on the road than even before and Australia’s $300 billion road network is feeling the pressure.Research conducted by the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) shows the nation’s basic infrastructure is at risk of degradation due to an increase in passenger and freight traffic, particularly in high population growth areas.According to ARRB National Leader Future Transport Infrastructure Matthew Bereni, if further investment in pavement rehabilitation, structural strength and innovative material isn’t prioritised, Australian roads might be unprepared to meet future demands.This is why ARRB developed its upcoming Smart Pavements Now event – a three-day master class held 18-20 September.
“The event will showcase the latest trends and emerging issues in the pavement industry and provide cost-effective solutions to existing problems. Participants will receive hands-on knowledge transfer about pavement technology, recycled materials in asphalt, advanced pavement modelling, road data collection and lower-cost material,” Mr. Bereni says.
