1st TYROSAFE workshop |
05.09.2008 |
 |
 The first TYROSAFE workshop will be held during the 6th Symposium on Pavement Surface Characteristics (SURF) in Portoro¾, Slovenia on Wednesday October 22nd 2008 from 13:30 till 18:00. During this workshop entitled "policies for skid resistance, rolling resistance and noise on roads" the following questions will be treated: what are the benefits of the policies? Do the policies serve their purpose? How satisfied are the stakeholders with the current policies? Are there benfits for making common European policies? Would your country accept an obligatory use of a common and single friction device as foreseen in 2020? If yes, are there special conditions?
The workshop addresses people involved in making policies and working with them. If you are one of these people, we are looking forward to seeing you in Portoro¾! |
