Crisp trade paperback. ; Bilingual: French and English languages. "In 1998, the PIARC committee C1 on Surface Characteristics carried out a worldwide experiment to investigate the performance of different high speed profiling equipment. The design of the different pieces of equipment clearly reflects the policy of what is considered sufficient information (in the different countries) when measuring longitudinal and transverse profiles. The results of this PIARC experiment will therefore be a primary tool for road administrations around the world to pinpoint exactly the device, which meets their specific requirements for monitoring their road network.

Crisp trade paperback.; Bilingual: French and English languages. "There are various types of road infrastructure financing, from "traditional" public funding through budgetary resource allocation relying on general taxes and duties, to "pure" private funding through limited recourse project financing based on road pricing or toll collection. But road investment needs are huge and allocation procedures reflect a fierce "competition" with other fundamental public services.
