DENMARK Completion of M3 motorway project Colas Danmark completed the widening of the M3 motorway – the ring road around Copenhagen – in early August. The project, begun in 2005 and divided into four contracts, has transformed a 4-lane road into a 6-lane road. The teams at Colas Danmark wrapped up the final phase. The Transport Ministry wanted the work to be done in the summer, when the traffic is much less intense. Normally, nearly 125,000 vehicles use the M3 motorway everyday, but traffic drops off significantly in the summer. So as to not disrupt traffic, teams mainly worked in the evening and at the night. Another noteworthy point: 126,000 square meters of noise-reducing asphalt (Rugosoft®) were used.< ROUTES N°No. 0027 mois– October année 2011 153098.GRP.indd 06 10/10/11 9:14:01 FRANCE A new stadium in Lille: responsible development The Lille/Dunkerque profit center of Colas Nord-Picardie is taking part in the Lille Grand Stadium project.

Warm-mix asphalt incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement or RAP (3E®+R) and noise-reducing surfacing (Nanosoft®) are being used on the two sites.

    T H E S W E GARAGE DOOR N VOLUME 21 ISSUE 4 The Monthly Overhead Door Newspaper Since 1992 APRIL 2012 Ice Road Door Guys Installing and Servicing Doors in the Arctic NORTHWEST TERRITORIES - It’s not surprising to most door professionals that a door company in a community of 70,000 people needs to look beyond residential and commercial garage doors as a source of income. But CN Doors is no ordinary small town garage door installation and service company. Based out of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada and servicing neighboring Nunavut, CN Doors services a geographical area of 1.3 million square miles – equal in size to ½ the contiguous 48 US States. Launched in 2004, the company is, according to Colin Cleveland, Operations Manager and co-owner of CN Doors, a specialist in servicing the arctic market. “Our tech guys routinely fly in with the Ice Pilots of Buffalo Air and drive the same ice roads as the Ice Road Truckers,” notes Cleveland.

  • Road Weather Condition Estimation Using Fixed and Mobile Based Cameras
    Road Weather Condition Estimation Using Fixed and Mobile Based Cameras Koray Ozcan1(&), Anuj Sharma1(&), Skylar Knickerbocker2(&), Jennifer Merickel3(&), Neal Hawkins2(&), and Matthew Rizzo3(&) 1 Institute for Transportation, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA {koray6,anujs}@iastate.edu 2 Center for Transportation Research and Education, Ames, IA, USA {sknick,hawkins}@iastate.edu 3 University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, USA {jennifer.merickel,matthew.rizzo}@unmc.edu Abstract. Automated interpretation and understanding of the driving environment using image processing is a challenging task, as most current vision-based systems are not designed to work in dynamically-changing and naturalistic real-world settings. For instance, road weather condition classifica- tion using a camera is a challenge due to high variance in weather, road layout, and illumination conditions. Most transportation agencies, within the U.S., have deployed some cameras for operational awareness. Given that weather related crashes constitute 22% of all vehicle crashes and 16% of crash fatalities, this study proposes using these same cameras as a source for estimating roadway surface condition. The developed model is focused on three road surface con- ditions resulting from weather including: Clear (clear/dry), Rainy-Wet (rainy/slushy/wet), and Snow (snow-covered/partially snow-covered). The camera sources evaluated are both fixed Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) and mobile (snow plow dash-cam). The results are promising; with an achieved 98.57% and 77.32% road weather classification accuracy for CCTV and mobile cameras, respectively. Proposed classification method is suitable for autono- mous selection of snow plow routes and verification of extreme road conditions on roadways.
