The COST Action 351 on Water Movements in Road Pavements and Embankments (WATMOVE) has completed its tasks with a final workshop in Athens. The project team presented many aspects of their work which focussed on the problems and solutions of water within road infrastructure and its immediate effects on the surroundings. Specific considerations concerned the challenges faced by road operators in complying with the European Directive on Groundwater quality. A book setting out the state-of-the-art in the topic will be published soon.
A consortium led by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) has been awarded a four-year European Environment Agency (EEA) framework agreement to provide expert assistance in the area of transport, emissions and the environment. FEHRL members TRL and VTI (the Swedish National Road and Transport Institute) will work together with FEHRL itself (and its other members ) and the UK’s Oxford University Centre for the Environment (OUCE).
Nina Gartner and Monika Kowalska-Sudyka joined the FEHRL Office at the beginning of January 2007. They were assigned a four-month secondment to learn about our activities in Brussels and work with fellow project managers and research developers. The training is part of the FP6 CERTAIN project and they will work closely with the European Commission.
Registrations are encouraged for a series of workshops organised by the SIMBA project to establish collaboratative research projects with India, South Africa and Brazil.
The EC funded CERTAIN Coordination Action kicked off on Friday 15 September. Together with Commission Project Officer Herbert Thanner, the Project Coordinator Ales Znidaric (ZAG Ljubljana) reported that the project will make a significant contribution to the integration of researchers from Central and Eastern European countries into the established EU road infrastruture research as well as support implemenation and knowledge transfer.
Today, FEHRL held a workshop on Heavy vehicle issues at its Brussels premises. Approximately fifty European and international participants contributed to the active debates on the challenges and opportunities of heavy vehicles on Europe’s road networks. Such important issues are reflected in FEHRL's SERRP IV document and delegates worked hard to considered how the agreed programme of work could be achieved.
FEHRL has published its fourth Strategic European Road Research Programme today. The document, SERRPIV, sets out the research programme for the period 2006 to 2011. The activities were agreed within FEHRL after consultation with major stakeholder.
The Strategic European Road Research Programme (SERRP) is FEHRL’s agenda for enhancing collaboration between its institutes whilst providing solutions for the problems facing the road of today and tomorrow.
