  8. Terms of reference TC 4.2 – Road/Vehicle Interaction and basis for setting up SURF2008 Having a 20 to 30-years vision of developments in vehicle and road pavement characteristics Review the possible evolution in private cars and trucks and impact of these changes on desirable characteristics for pavements Reducing road noise Review new developments in vehicles, tyres, pavements and their interaction allowing to envisage a significant reduction in road noise Harmonise methods to characterise road noise Improving the description of pavement surface characteristics Continue the work on texture and skid resistance Continue the work on automated cracking survey devices Review recent practices in the use of surface condition measurement for acceptance of road works Bjarne Schmidt

  9. Wishing you all a pleasant and fruitful SURF2008 Bjarne Schmidt
