The latest reports from TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) include a series of documents on reducing congestion, testing networks' resilience to climate change and pavement disintegration.
Of key interest to Transport Network readers (especially those working at the Treasury) these documents come in four parts together with a summary.
The research provides analysis of Road Plating, Temporary Backfill, Rapid Cure Concrete and other techniques that could help to reduce the congestion caused by road and street works.
It also provides a toolkit of options for reducing congestion to be considered by road authorities, utility companies and contractors when planning roadworks.
Also of interest are two documents on the resilience of transport networks to climate change including information on how to develop methods of quantitatively assessing a networks' resilience.
Finally there is a research document on pavement surface disintegration and how to detect changes in texture condition.
