The ROADEX Projects Exchanging information on low volume roads across the European Northern Periphery Ron Munro, Project Manager, ROADEX IV

The ROADEX Project: Finland Finland Sweden Sweden Greenland Greenland Norway Norway Iceland Iceland Scotland Scotland www.roadex.org

The ROADEX co-operation A trans-national network of Northern Periphery roads organisations committed to: Share best practice Research and develop new knowledge Implement and test new solutions Running for 12 years over 4 projects Supported by EU funding from the Interreg IIIb Northern Periphery Programme.

The Northern Periphery Programme area

The ROADEX IV Partners: Lead Partner, The Swedish Transport Administration Northern Region, The Swedish Forest Agency Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, Lapland, Keski-Suomi and Savo Karelia regions The Government of Greenland The Icelandic Road Administration The Northern Region, Norwegian Public Roads Administration The Highland Council, The Western Isles Council, Forestry Commission Scotland The National Roads Authority, The Department of Transport, Ireland Associate Partner: The Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada, (FERIC) Project Consultant: Roadscanners Oy, Finland

Finland Finland Sweden Sweden Greenland Greenland Norway Norway Iceland Iceland Scotland Scotland Ireland Ireland The ROADEX Partner areas

Why are we collaborating? Common problems of: Mature road networks in peripheral areas Low traffic volumes Lifeline roads to remote communities Limited budgets Increasing user expectations Changing climate Looking for sustainable solutions: Affordable Fit for purpose Environmentally sustainable All need to get MORE from LESS

ROADEX IV 4 projects since 1998: ROADEX I 1998-2001 The Pilot Project ROADEX II 2002-2005 The Research Project ROADEX III 2006-2007 The Dissemination Project ROADEX IV 2009-2012 The Implementation Project Timeline 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012

The ROADEX PILOT PROJECT 1998-2001 created the network identified and reported best practices and procedures in winter maintenance and road condition management started the knowledge sharing

The ROADEX Pilot Project Results 2 State of the Art Reports - Winter maintenance - Road condition management A multi-media CD-ROM The www.roadex.org website Test reports on road trials Technical papers in Oslo, Trondheim, Barcelona, Helsinki and Sapporo

ROADEX II - The Research Project The Highland Council, Forest Enterprise & The Western Isles Council Northern Region of The Norwegian Public Roads Administration & The Norwegian Road Haulage Association Northern Region of The Swedish National Road Administration Lapland and Keski-Suomi districts of Finra, Metsähallitus, Lapin Metsäkeskus, Metsäliitto & Stora-Enso Project consultants: Roadscanners Oy

Modern production the management of logistical chains ROADEX II (2002-2005) The Problem: Reducing road funding End User Needs: Increasing Heavy Traffic Road Owner Obligations: Road Network Performance How to close the Gap? Reaction / Decision Making LOAD / TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS MAINTENANCE / REHABILITATION MEASURES NO MEASURES

The ROADEX II Project 2002-2005 The ROADEX II solution: Map the weak sections of road and FOCUS in on them Understand the processes causing the problems Innovate - find new fit for purpose structures and treatments

ROADEX II The Research Project outputs 1. A user perspective on ROADEX II test areas road network service level 2. Permanent deformation 3. New material treatment techniques 4. Managing spring thaw weakening on low volume roads 5. Socio-economic impacts of road conditions on low volume roads 6. Drainage on low volume roads 7. Dealing with bearing capacity problems on low volume roads constructed on peat 8. Environmental guidelines & checklist 9. Structural Innovations 10. Monitoring, communication and information systems & tools for focusing actions 11. Road management policies for low volume roads some proposals All reports available at www.roadex.org
