Road infrastructure design for optimizing sustainability.
Period: November 2012 - November 2013.
Financing entity: European Bank of Investment.
Programme: STAREBEI (STAges de REcherche BEI-EIB)
Researcher: José M.Vassallo (PI), Paola C. Bueno

Aims
- To identify gaps in the current methods and techniques for traditional sustainable assessment
- To develop a tool for ensuring the effective incorporation of all sustainability issues in the design of road projects and investment decisions.
Conclussions
By including sustainability in Road Projects we expect to enhance the technical assistance for EU Members in preparing high - quality road infrastructure projects to be submitted for co-financing under the Structural and Cohesion Funds.
Thus, the European Regulations that pertain to the application of Funds will prioritize road projects on a sustainable basis.
