Presentations from FeRRM 05 - the 7th framework programme and road transport research FEHRL meeting held Brussels, 14-16 June 2005

This publication consists of computer slide-based presentations on collaborative road transport research in Europe. The plans for research in the 7th framework programme grouped around nine themes are described. Other contributions cover: the European Research Area (ERA-NET) cooperation and coordination of research activities in general and in road research; the European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP); a vision for road transport in Europe 2025; the potential for recycling in road construction in Central and Eastern Europe; the Environmental Noise Directive; the European Automobile Manufacturers Association; road traffic noise and the tyre industry perspective; silent road surfacing; the Danish noise strategy; intelligent roads; intelligent pavements; pavement surface safety monitoring; intelligent vehicle safety systems; the Construction Products Directive; standardisation; European bitumen standardisation (BiTVal); bitumen testing for asphalt properties; performance indicators for road pavements; enhanced noise barriers; a classification system for low-noise road surfaces; quieter surface transport in urban areas; acoustic optimisation of lamellar-type expansion joints; the Jules Verne climatic wind tunnel; the European test laboratory for advanced driver-vehicle systems; heavy vehicle simulator; accelerated load testing of pavements; challenges for rehabilitation of structures; ultra high cement composites; ultra high performance fibre reinforced composites and their use in structures.
