20.500.12556/DiRROS-24437 INFRACOMS appraisal toolkit for NRAs to assess emerging technologies in bridge and pavement management National Road Authorities (NRAs) draw on a wide range of technologies and tools to support robust decisions on asset maintenance. However, in recent years there has been significant progress in the development of sensing technologies for data collection and advanced techniques for data processing. These technologies present an opportunity to improve asset management decisions, but also present a challenge for NRAs, as they seek to realise the benefits. This contribution presents the appraisal methodology for emerging technologies proposed by the INFRACOMS project commissioned by the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR). The methodology provides objective appraisals since technologies are scrutinised against proposed subsequent criteria. Cost factors, potential benefit categories and limitations are identified. Technologies are ranked by key imperatives and scored. Technologies with a good score are evaluated more thoroughly, which may need specialist input and discussions with the technology supplier. It results in a technical score, a benefit/cost assessment and identified steps in a roadmap toward implementation. The NRAs can share their individual appraisals in a database. The second part of the project develops an action plan to guide NRAs in adapting and implementing promising emerging technologies and training sessions on the use of the developed appraisal toolkit. monitoring data digitalisation sustainability sustainability asset condition data new technologies podatki o spremljanju stanja digitalizacija trajnostnost gospodarjenje z vozišči stanje prometne infrastrukture nove tehnologije true false true Springer Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © The Author(s) 2026 Neznano 2025-11-28 09:22:23 2025-11-28 09:33:26 2025-11-29 03:56:25 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 527–533 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-10-04 656.1 10.1007/978-3-032-04774-8_76 256605699 256599043 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-04774-8_76 0 5fefa631-cc33-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=36392 RAZ_McPherson_Kevin_2025.pdf RAZ_McPherson_Kevin_2025.pdf 1 0D726C63FE436FC625FC05BE0F49F370 4324a4a6fdb053682b5751f55d6bfe85df456633ceef68daee461e55e5c77a65 e1a2ef93-cc34-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=36395 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
