The overall aim of FUTURENET is to help answer the questions: what will be the nature of the UK transport system in 2050, both in terms of its physical characteristics and its usage, and what will be the shape of the transport network in 2050 that will be most resilient to climate change?
+
FUTURENET aims at describing the U-transport system in 2050, physically and in demand terms, and the transport network in 2050 the most resiliant to climate change. To achieve resilience, the following objectives have to be targeted: weather models with meteorological and climatic trigger, generic methods applicable to other transport corridors and dissemination of results amongst stakeholders, policy makers and practitioners.
−
 
 
−
This will be achieved through a series of targeted objectives, including; the development of possible UK transport scenarios,
 
−
*the development of conceptual models of weather / climate induced failure mechanisms of transport systems, together with meteorological and climatic trigger levels where these can be identified
 
−
*the development of a modelling methodology that will integrate the work of the first two objectives, and allow the effect of climate change on the resilience of transport networks to be systematically studied
 
−
*the development of generic methods that can be applied to other transport corridors and
 
−
*the dissemination of the results amongst stakeholders, policy makers and practitioners.

This report shows how the predicted climate changes will affect highways performance, most likely in a negative way. If temperatures rise and precipitation increases, it looks as though present design theory and construction techniques will have to be amended to accommodate for these differences of climates.

This research focus on the effects of moisture on asphalt pavements. The report provides an introduction to what might happen to asphalt pavements in the event of climate change. Specifically, what negative effects might events of this nature have, and what tools does engineers have to mitigate such issues. The conclusions presented are based on the available knowledge using existing asphalt technology and climate change predictions. These conclusions will focus on the impacts of moisture on asphalt, and specifically how increased rainfall may promote failures of asphalt pavements.
