ABOUT MIRIAM

The objective of the project is to provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly road infrastructure by developing an integrated methodology for improved control of road transport CO2-emissions through management of pavement surface characteristics. The methodology will be implemented in road asset management systems to optimize the reduction of the part of vehicle CO2-emission related to road pavement conditions.

The optimization of pavement quality and condition in relation to CO2-emission and energy use supports the sustainable road transport issues in relation to environmental impact and will result in better quality of life for society in general.
