| 摘要： | Roads are the dominant national assets for transport and constitute a pedal for national economy to fuel economic growth and reap social benefits. The roads and road transport are constantly evolving in response to large social, economic, and environmental shifts. Economic progress and fast-paced urbanization trend further motivate the establishment of integrated and cost-effective transport systems for the mobility of persons and goods. With growing road network of the country and with ambitious road development programme, the role of R&D inputs become most valuable, considering the large impact that even a minor technological change can bring in such scenario. The basic aim of research should be to develop durable infrastructure, to improve in-service performance, reduce maintenance needs and costs, reduce life-cycle costs and significantly use new technologies and marginal materials.Road systems require solutions that promote energy efficiency, multimodality, sustainability, reductions in road congestion, and safety in transport. Research and development play very important role in arriving at the above solutions and towards evolution of technology. As technologies are changing at a fast pace, we must come with new ideas, learn from our experiences and develop the capacity to compete and innovate user friendly technologies. |
