Pavement Management systems have been designed to provide information on the functional and structural condition of roads so that road owners can offer a smooth and safe ride to road users at the lowest possible cost. They also provide reliable information to decision makers about the condition of the road network for maintenance and rehabilitation planning and funding. However, the problem with PMS systems has traditionally been that they have supported reactive maintenance whereby the road is repaired by mainly standard methods after a specified amount of visible damage has occurred on the pavement.

2D flood modeling interprets the 2D equations of flow to find out the water depth and depth-averaged velocity on a grid or mesh. It uses digital terrain modeling and bathymetry of a water channel in the question to outline the 2D-flow of an expected flood. This course will examine how use 2D flood modelling for urban areas. It will also provides an overview of the elements and processes involved in the urban drainage systems and provides guidance on solving routine as well as exceptional issues associated with water management in urban environments. Topics covered include gutter flow, roadway inlet interception, storm drain systems, detention ponds, and stormwater management.

Participants will be guided through various interactive course modules to develop skills and knowledge to employ standard guidelines and specifications related to both flexible and rigid pavements.
The main goal of this online training is to introduce the fundamentals of intelligent construction techniques for road infrastructure. Different aspect of road infrastructure construction in terms of machinery and equipment, data sources, performance monitoring and decision making will be discussed.
Traffic congestion and emissions remain harmful by-products of vehicle ownership which policy makers, traffic planners & network managers can mitigate through traffic simulation tools and next generation traffic management solutions.
This workshop will cover the principles, concepts, components, techniques and benefits of managing road infrastructure assets. The contents will be based on international practitioner handbooks as well as the hands-on experience of the course instructors. The workshop will teach the most relevant best practices as they relate to strategic asset management, tactical & technical asset management planning and operational asset management & service delivery.
Safety performance determines how and why these failures occur on a road network, even in the absence of robust crash data, and gives additional answers to determine what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future and build more robust economic cases supporting road safety investments.
The end of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety in 2020 marks the start of new forms of international collaboration to avert the continuing and growing epidemic of road traffic injuries, responsible for 1,350,000 fatalities per year. Key to the success of further efforts is the acknowledgement that no level of death or serious injury is acceptable. Taking human fallibility and vulnerability into account must thus become paramount priorities for all actors of the road transport system.
