WP4 Environmental effects and impact of climatic change Topics of WP4 Identify research areas for possible environmental effects due to optimisation of specific parameters Identify possible impact of climatic change on skid resistance, rolling resistance and noise emissions Organisation of expert workshop
WP5 Dissemination and raising awareness Topics of WP5 Dissemination of project and related research activities Raising of awareness of the project topics and activities to general public public officials interested experts Demonstrate the importance of EC research in the field of tyre/road interaction for road safety and environment Organisation and management of stakeholder reference group
WP5 Dissemination and raising awareness Some activities of WP5 Management of the project website (see D0) Management of internal communication Management of the Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) Project newsletters (Issue 0 and 02 available) Project leaflet and poster Dissemination at conferences and events: SURF 2008 in Portoroz Seminar on Pavement Surface Characteristics 2008 in Guimaraes Tire Technology Expo and Conference 2009 in Hamburg Aula Ineco 2009 in Barcelona Link to other projects.
Outputs and impact Expected output and impact Recommendations for common European policies and approaches concerning the tyre/road interaction effects Improving Road Safety Reduction of accidents due to safer, comparable roads (better skid resistance) Safer roads allow for increased mobility Comparable road behaviour on European Roads decreases level of human error The Greening of Surface Transport Recommendations for optimising road surfaces and tyres towards low rolling resistance (reduced CO 2 production) and noise emission
