PIARC Prize - Climate Change and Resilience - Climate-Change-Related Risk Thresholds for the Road Infrastructure in Spain
Climate change is one of the main environmental problems of today and one that is forcing us to rethink our approach to territory management in order to anticipate the adverse weather patterns that are being forecast and that will cause serious losses with regard to the provision of road services.

PIARC Prize - Young Professionals - Development of Solar Pavement in Japan and its Contribution to Carbon Neutrality
In road paving, solar pavement is being developed worldwide against the backdrop of the Paris Agreement, which set a long-term goal of mitigating climate change by 2050 and beyond, SDGs, carbon neutrality and other initiatives. We are developing solar pavement with the aim of developing road paving technology that contributes to carbon neutrality, and are conducting demonstration testing, primarily, test paving, in places with vehicle traffic.

A Strategic Research Agenda for Biodiversity-Friendly Transport Infrastructure in Europe
Transport ecology, which developed from road ecology, opens up a specific field of research at the crossroads between two major areas: transport research and biodiversity research. Amidst growing tensions surrounding this interface (often conflicting objectives of environmental preservation and economic development), one of the BISON project’s objectives was to identify and prioritise research and innovation needs so that transport infrastructure can take greater account of biodiversity throughout [...]

The Final Frontier - Meeting the Challenges of Linear Infrastructure in Africa
The environmental and infrastructure sectors in Africa are at the early stages of adopting a meaningful collaborative agenda for developing ecologically sustainable linear infrastructure. There are efforts, lessons and knowledge emerging from various parts of the continent which highlight a pressing need to move this agenda forward. African countries have a very limited timeline to ensure ecological sustainable in the face of rapid and expansive linear development across the continent. It is imperative [...]

From the 5th Generation Road to Roads of the Anthropocene – What are the Synergies between Digitalisation of Transport Infrastructures and Protection of Landscapes and Biodiversity?
The “5th Generation Road” or R5GMD project, the French version of the “Forever Open Road” project, aims to design road infrastructures that are adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. The project is divided into three phases. The first phase (2010-2015) involved identifying key technologies and preparing the associated research projects, culminating in the publication of a roadmap validated by the Ministry responsible for the environment and transport at COP 21. The second phase (2015-2020) [...]
