One or more simultaneous changes in climate, such as hotter seasons, more extreme precipitation events and sea level rise, could severely impinge on road performance in Low Income Countries (LICs). Failure to account for such impacts in future road design, maintenance and operating planning and protocols could cause accelerated road deterioration and higher road use costs, thereby severely constraining socio-economic development. The CRISPS project aims to achieve an affordable high-volume road resilient approach to climate change and traffic demands. This will be achieved by assessing the suitability of three global best-practice types of road surfacing technologies for use in LICs, namely Modified Epoxy Chip Seals (MECS), Modified Epoxy Asphalt Surfaces (MEAS) and Fibre Mastic Asphalt (FMA). |
