Research

The research focus of the FG Construction and Maintenance of Traffic Routes is the development, testing and evaluation of durable traffic route pavements. In addition to the projects worked on in the traffic route construction laboratory on the testing and development of innovative road construction materials, theoretical foundations are laid for recording the durability of traffic route pavements.
