From Denmark’s Greenwood Engineering Helene Pehrsson and her colleagues, we have a description of the use of a Traffic Speed Deflectometer – a key technology incorporated in the NTRO’s iPAVE fleet – to assist in airfield RoI through early treatment of issues. Also at the ‘prevention is better than cure level’, Dr Hendrik Zurlinden’s paper discusses using road design and operation optimization as a means of curbing the road safety problem that is the bane of our lives.
