The Who's Who in Spanish Road Infrastructure Technology

• Eco-pavements: Study and characterization of waste from demolition and construction. Drafting of technical
requirements to facilitate the use of recycled aggregates in road pavements.
• Light panels for noise barriers in urban areas.
• MAT+: Use of bitumen emulsions in road pavements.
• Project characterization of self-compacting concrete versus conventional concrete.
• “Recycled Aggregates”: Production and characterization of Recycled Aggregates from Construction and
Demolition Waste (CDW) for recycled concrete production.
• Research for the incorporation of used tyre pieces as fill material in road construction.
• SEEDS: Self learning Energy Efficient buildings and open Spaces (FP7).
• Silica sand in surface courses.
• SMARTCOMP: Fibre optics sensors for the monitoring of composite strengthened structures (FP5).
• Used tyres in embankments.
• Use of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) for roads and highways pavement design.
• Waste materials for concrete aggregates.

• Foundation incorporated in 1993.
• Transport Safety: the centre offers an integral approach to road safety including the infrastructure, vehicle
and human factors.
• Materials-Product-Process: a clearly defined methodology that covers the entire value chain of any production
process is followed.
• Energy and Environment: development of new technological concepts that allow the use of cleaner and sustainable
energy sources, the definition of processes that reduce waste generation, the optimization of energy
transformation and efficient energy uses.
• Sectors: Infrastructure, automotive, energy, rail, environment and aeronautics.
Member of Associations and Platforms:
• Spain: PTC, ATC, AEC, PTFE, PTME, FEDIT, ASEPA, SERNAUTO, FACYL.
• International: ERF, ERTRAC, TRB, EARPA, EEVC.
R&D: Road Infrastructure Safety: active & passive (signs, containment systems, etc.) preventive safety, road
safety inspections, cost-benefit analysis. Electronics: ITS development, inspection techniques, signing. Accident
Analysis: epidemiology, in-depth investigations of accidents, accident reconstruction. Human Factor: Analysis
of traffic conflicts, HMI, behavioral studies, systems usability, ergonomics. Energy and environment: hydrogen
technologies, biomass, sustainable building, diagnosis and maintenance, energy system development. Materials:
plastics, composites, alloys, asphalt. Vehicle safety: active & passive preventive safety (ADAS and IVIS systems),
biomechanics, dummies. Materials-Product-Process. Acoustics and vibrations.
