Analyzing seasonal variation in Finland.
Learn more about the ARRB Systems solutions utilised in this case study:
The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (FTIA) is responsible for developing and maintaining the state-owned road network, the railways and the waterways. FTIA’s remit is to respond efficiently and responsibly to customer needs arising from changes in transportation and to produce a growth platform for society, in the form of both functional and safe infrastructure.
In an ongoing project with FTIA, ARRB Systems is monitoring the influence of seasonal variation on pavement condition, using the comprehensive measurement equipment iPAVe. FTIA is keen to understand the connection between changing weather conditions and pavement strength, aiming to identify specific reasons behind the shifts in pavement conditions and develop effective strategies to improve pavement durability and resilience against diverse environmental factors.
To address the challenges posed by seasonal variations, FTIA has partnered with ARRB Systems to utilize iPAVe technology. This advanced system collects comprehensive data on pavement conditions, allowing for detailed analysis of seasonal trends.
By monitoring test loops in different climatic regions, FTIA aims to:
Through the use of iPAVe, FTIA is gaining valuable insights into the impact of seasonal variations on road infrastructure, enabling them to make informed decisions and ensure the long-term sustainability of Finland’s transportation network.
