3. What is happening to our pavements?
2013
Pavements in bad condition
4 900 km
2018
Pavements in bad condition
9 600 km
2023
Pavements in bad condition km
+ 95 %
+ 145 %
-> funding is not enough, something needs to be done

5. Utilisation of customer relations
All works are done to serve our customers!
Existing information of road condition and traffic is ameneded through continuos communication with road users, especially with industry and transportation companies
A web-based tools has been introduced in 2015
Customer data is used to justify already identified needs, but we are also seeking new needs and aspects for improvement of prioritisation

6. O2 Classification of roads
YP1
YP2
YP3
ADT min 3000 v.p.d or heavy ADT min 300 v.p.d
Important road network
Periodic maintenance funding always secured
ADT 800 – 3000, heavy ADT ~100
Routes from smaller cities to regional centers, hospitals and important administrative and economic centers
Alternative routes too long
Current periodic maintenance funding adequate
Rest of the roads
Funding about 50 % of the needs
YP 1 total length km 18 %
YP 2 total length km 24 %
YP 3 total length km 58 %

7. O3 Pavement condition parameters
Use of IRI has shown to be not the best choice
-> New condition variables under investigation:
RUT-delta
to find edge deformation using transversal profile data
Nodding of heavy vehicles
Driving comfort
Pavement thickness
Utilisation of PEHKO pilot program results

8. Service Agreements and Partnering Contracts for Periodic Maintenance
Lappi (3 years): Partnering / Unit prices for repairing and resurfacing
Oulu 1 (10 years) and
Oulu 2 (15 years): SA
Performance based criteria + certain amount of repairs, Total Price + Unit prices for repair actions
LYTAPS (6 years): Partnering / Unit prices for repairing and resurfacing of low volume roads
Betonitie (10 years): SA
High volume roads,
Performance Based Criteria,
Prices by actions
KaS PS (10 years): SA
High volume roads - performance based criteria and total price
Low volume roads -
Partnering and
unit prices
HTU PPS (12 years): SA
High volume roads,
Performance Based Criteria,
Total Price

9. Lessons Learnt
Long term contracts with Performance Base Criteria (about 15 years)
Contract period: Long enough > Possibilities for innovations
Innovations ? = Field studies, better planning and production, better quality
Performance based criteria for properties which can be measured reliable way
Requires mechanism for changes
Small input of Client’s side during the contract
Suitable for high-volume roads having only minor structural problems
Partnering (about 5 years)
Importance of co-operation - More value by combining the competence
More flexibility for Client (than in Long term contract)
Longer contract time for Contractor (than traditional Contracts)
Suitable for all kind of roads and works
Maintenance development

10. High Capacity Transport
Max vehicle dimensions were changed
Max weight 76 tons
Max height 4,40 meters
# of weight restricted bridges 150 -> 500
Some extra funding gained for mainly bridge repair (55 M€)
The Finnish Transport Safety Agency has granted exceptional test permits for high- capacity transport (HCT) combination vehicles with a mass of over 76 tonnes.
These trials aim at the development of new combination vehicles that are safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective.
The first HCT permit was granted in November 2013 for a five-year trial of a 33- metre-long combination vehicle with a mass of 80 tonnes
13 JAN 2016

11. Current situation: Eight on-going trials Over 2000 km’s of routes About 70 sites served > 10 new trials under planning

12. Preliminary results
About 1 million vehicle kilometers done by December 2015
More trials going on on ”space” than on ”weight”
Fuel consumption -10%...-40%
Driving behaviour in roundabouts and crossings has been better than expected
No special problems detecter in winter circumstances

13. Transport of goods for KESKO stores
90 tons, 34,5 meters

14. CEDR2014 Asset: projects
PREMiUM - Practical Road Equipment Measurement Understanding and Management (TRL, VTI, BRRC, PMS, AIT, Roghan & O’Connor)
ARISE - Application to Roads of ISO55000 using Exemplars (Parsons Brinckerhoff Ltd., Hyperion, EGIS)
ISABELA - Integration of social aspects and benefits into life-cycle asset management (PMS, University Belgrad, ZAG, Logiroad, CESTEL, TU Braunschweig, IMC, LNEC)
DRaT - Development of the Ravelling Test (TRL, TNO, TU Darmstadt, BAM Infra, BRRC, Heijmans Wegen, ISAC, IFSTTAR)
BEST4ROAD - Best Practice Guidelines for Procurement of Road Maintenance (University of Twente, Ramboll, Deltares, University of Bath, Durth Roos Consulting)

15. Project: ARISE
Application to Roads of ISO55000 using Exemplars Duration: 15 Months (06/2015 – 08/2016)
Results:
ARISE will focus on producing advice and guidance for road sector organisations considering why and how to implement ISO55000.
The results will be based upon examples gleaned from case studies of organisations which are at various stages of their asset management system implementation, and which have specific experience of IS or its ‘parent’, PAS-55
A somewhat similar project for railways is being undertaken in co-operation with UIC (International Union of Railways)
