In addition to this, the following projects, which are part of past ERA-NET ROAD calls, have been completed:

2008 Call: Road Owners getting to Grips with Climate Change

IRWIN: Improved local Winter Index to assess Maintenance Needs and Adaptation Costs in Climate Change Scenarios

Improved tools for road owners are urgently needed to help them cope with rapidly progressing climate change. A very important tool for planning their activities is to have access to good scenarios regarding spatial and temporal resolution of what to be expected of climate variations in the future, especially regarding extreme events. Traditionally climate change scenarios are calculated based on ordinary meteorological data, which have large limitations in respect to resolution….
