FOREWORD
Today the global road sector faces important technological challenges which will influence
the future road system, in particular in connection to ITS & Mobility, Safety,
Materials, Energy & Sustainability, Environment and Transport & Co-modality.
In the case of Spain, the development of a modern road network coupled time-wise with
a substantial increase of the socioeconomic conditions enjoyed by Spanish citizens, and
this fact made the role played by road networks self-evident to the Spanish society. Since
then, the Spanish road industry has grown exponentially and become a global leader, as it
is transferring its knowledge and expertise in planning, building, equipping and operating
road networks all across the world.
The Who’s Who in Spanish Road Infrastructure Technology compiles the recent achievements
of the Spanish road infrastructure sector from a scientific and technological
perspective. More than 50 organizations and 220 experts have participated in its elaboration,
an effort which has mainly consisted of identifying the achievements already made
by the Spanish industry, academia and public authorities towards addressing the global
challenges mentioned above.
On behalf of the Spanish Road Technology Platform, we hope you find this publication
instrumental to find the right expertise and partnership within the Spanish road
sector.
