PIARC's
partnership policy aims at connecting us to international organisations dealing
with roads or transport. This is to enrich our approaches and analyses, and
sometimes even to develop joint projects. It also ensures that road
infrastructure and road transport services are given the recognition and
consideration they deserve.
In this spirit, PIARC has invited its partners
to design sessions for the Calgary Congress, to be held virtually in February
2022. These
"forward-looking sessions" will be co-constructed around the themes
of the Congress, winter service and resilience [...] >> Read more

April 2021, online
PIARC’s Technical Committee 4.3
met up virtually for the third time since the start of the 2020-2023 work
cycle. After the kick-off meetings in January 2020, Technical Committees will
meet on a bi-annual basis to discuss the progress of their research. In the
case of TC 4.3 “Earthworks”, this work focuses on the improvement of the
resilience of earth structures to natural hazards, and in particular on the
identification of technologies and innovations in their construction and
maintenance.

8 April
2021, online Miguel
Caso Florez, PIARC Technical Director, took part in this webinar organized by
PIARC National Committee in Spain, ATC, about the future of road pavements.
Miguel presented the impact on the pavements of Electric Road Systems, systems
able to recharge electric vehicles while moving on the road. The impact depends
largely in the ERS that it is implemented, whether it is an inductive system
embedded 5 to 10 cm deep in the pavements, or it is a rail inside the pavement
surface or on top of the pavement surface, or yet a rail in the lateral
barriers or the catenary. >> Watch the clip here

“In the current health crisis,
with the need for effective ideas, and, taking into account that public
transport is a major source of contagion, it is worthwhile, and I would say
essential and politically and socially appropriate, to listen to the different
experiences described by @PIARC_Roads”

“"Pavements in good condition reduce greenhouse gases for the
entire sector by reducing 99% of the emissions produced by vehicles driving on
them," says @miguelcasof of @PIARC_Roads.
