The future road network faces major challenges. Roads are worn out as a result of increasingly heavy traffic and climate change. Electric and self-driving vehicles require new road solutions. Now, the Swedish Transport Administration is investing close to half a billion Swedish kronor in 12 years of road engineering research through the new national road engineering competence centre (KCV).
KCV collaborators are; KTH, Chalmers, Lund Faculty of Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, the Swedish Transport Administration, and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute.
