Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Problem description Effective, fair and sustainable road management require streamlined objective and up to date information. Advances in a range of sensing technologies and information processing have built up a potential for implementing new monitoring techniques that deliver key information for road management. The traditional monitoring techniques suffer for example in cost efficiency, time and spatial coverage, extent of traffic disruptions, indicator reliability, interpretation of physical processes, reflection of needs regarding functionality and safety, versatility and multi-purpose usage, etc. Due to these deficiencies, road management lacks widespread objective materials and condition data and hence be an effective and proactive tool for the improvement of physical and wider economic performance of the road network. Means of feedback of data into road management systems for future decision making should be integrated. Barriers to implementation of new monitoring techniques range from insufficient knowledge on actual measurements to ways of utilising information in decision making on strategic, network or object levels, as well as costs.
Method The overall idea is to map needs for monitoring data and develop means of cost-benefit analysis of monitoring techniques and utilisation in asset management (WP2). Then, identified key technologies for monitoring pavements and bridges are investigated to improve data processing, interpretation and indicators (WP3 and WP4). Finally, aspects of implementation of indicators in road asset management are investigated to provide information on application areas, added values, and procedures (WP2).'
Introduzione (Teaser)
New sensor technologies for assessing physical road conditions offer great potential, which an EU project is assessing. Challenges include both the measurement of physical properties and implementation of such information in asset management.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Conventional techniques for monitoring road and traffic conditions are limited, as well as expensive and impractical. A range of new sensing technologies offers great potential for improvement.
The EU-funded 'Tomorrow's road infrastructure monitoring and management' (http://trimm.fehrl.org (TRIMM)) project is currently investigating options. The 15-member group commenced activities in December 2011 and will conclude in November 2014. The consortium will determine the data needs for bridge- and road-surface monitoring, while assessing key technologies for possible improvements to data processing and interpretation. In addition, the consortium will consider the potential for implementation.
Initial work involved an inventory of technical performance indicators and maintenance-operation measures. That established the requirements for monitoring data. The team also compared road performance and social impact, and determined the connections using questionnaires. TRIMM furthermore developed a proof-of-concept tool for cost-benefit analyses. The tool estimates risks and other uncertainties, plus helps to provide socially optimal maintenance strategies.
Evaluation of a prototype image-based bridge inspection system led to suggested areas for enhancement. That also led to the revision of the project's goals, whereby it would initially focus on 2D imaging before proceeding to 3D modelling. A related system will extend the lifespan of concrete bridges using acoustics in combination with motion sensors. The resulting equipment has been tested on three bridges, and will improve the analysis of traffic-related damage.
TRIMM also made progress on various advanced road monitoring techniques. These include algorithms for assessing traffic effects of road-surface water, plus a ground-penetrating radar system for measuring asphalt thickness and condition. The project considered the potential of vehicle-based systems to assess road wear, concluding that many hurdles to implementation remain.
Within the larger FEHRL Infrastructure Research Meeting (FIRM) in June 2013, TRIMM organised an information session for stakeholder representatives. The gathering led to the establishment of new contacts and valuable feedback.
TRIMM will lead to improved monitoring and decision support systems for both road and bridge management, plus guidelines of how to optimally achieve this. The work will mean more cost-effective repairs and longer-lasting infrastructure.
