TF 4.1 Road Design Standards

In view of the importance of guidelines and standards in the field of road infrastructure, Task Force 4.1 "Road Design Standards" focuses on collecting these standards from several countries and analyzing analogies and differences, taking into account the type of road. This Task Force will also analyze the current reliability of geometric models addressing the new mobility - new propulsion techniques and connected and autonomous driving - as well as will investigate the use of new tools such as Big Data to reconsider design parameters and models based on road user's behavior. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
