Overview

This talk will give a snapshot of three areas of recent research at the University of Nottingham on topics related to pavements.

These are:

1) The use of warm-mix asphalt to allow early opening to traffic;

2) An innovative ‘smart pavement’ sensor;

3) Texture, skid resistance and aquaplaning.

The first two presentations will be presented by Taqia Rahman and Mario Paredes; Nick Thom will present the third.

Who is the event for?

Members and non-members are welcome to join us.  It will be of particular interest to highway engineers and pavement specialists (at all levels).
