Measurement of road performance and impact on transportation operations with the opti-grade system

Measurement of road performance and impact on transportation operations with the opti-grade system Mercier, S. Primary Author mixed material bibliography A.A. Balkema 2004 en English Pavements Unbound; Proceedings Of The 6th International Symposium On Pavements Unbound (unbar 6) FERIC worked with a company in western Canada (Alpac) to complete the first phase of a study to assess the impact of road roughness on haul costs. The study's main objective was to find the right balance between minimizing costs and maximizing the efficiency of the transportation system. The potential benefits for the company were large, since according to Alpac, each reduction of 1 minute in cycle times translated into a saving of more than $75 000 for their feet. The paper presents a summary of the potential offered by opti-Grade as well as the results for our going research ROAD PERFORMANCE 625.8(063) Perpustakaan Direktorat Bina Teknik Jalan dan Jembatan Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga - Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum (NPP: 3273244A00000001) 0000016939 My Library 16426 machine generated
