Final Outcomes
Results of FALCON international research program delivers a concept of performance-based Infrastructure Access Policy that will be tailor made for European conditions, considering above all the design criteria of the European infrastructure network (including various types of pavements, bridges and tunnels) and commercial vehicle combination that are (or in near future will be) operating on the road network. The vehicles must be primarily able to accommodate standardized loading units. Next, the emphasis will be given on national topology of selected countries as well as climatic conditions, creating such unique study that was not created yet on an European level, and having substantial value for Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR), who finances the research program. The impact of developed policy on multi-modal transport, infrastructure ageing and congestion concludes the study.
