Technical Reports Road assets management

This page lists technical reports of PIARC in the field of road assets management. These publications are classified chronologically.

  • Integration of performance indicators

    Road infrastructure management tends to be determined by objectives aiming at a sustainable socio-economic performance of the transport system. Such an approach requires performance indicators for the various stakeholders, which should be established by aggregating technical and non-technical indicators. The report introduces the « Drawer Concept » assigned to each area of interest, allowing the users to develop their own system according to their specific needs.The drawer includes advice [...]

  • Review of the growth and development of recycling in pavement construction

    This report presents an overview of the use of recycling techniques in pavement construction in many countries. It highlights the barriers to recycling and describes systems and approaches that assist in overcoming these barriers. The incentives that are discussed are related to client awareness, appropriate technology, the benefits of recycling from an environmental and economic point of view and the implementation of regulatory and legislative measures. The report contains an appendix including [...]

  • Indicators representative of the condition of geotechnical structures for road asset management

    The management of geotechnical assets of road infrastructure is a subject that is rarely investigated. The variability and the difficulty to predict long-term performances pose a challenge for planning maintenance. The report provides an overview of the state of practice. After a description of the architecture of management systems, it provides relevant performance indicators to evaluate the condition of geotechnical assets. Examples of implementation, the results of an international survey, [...]
