Highlights from the Ignition Function and IAB meeting

3 May 2019

The ARC Smart Pavements Research Hub (SP/\RC)’s Ignition function was held on 15th of April and was a success! It brought members together, near and far, to celebrate the research collaboration and to start the countdown to the official Ministerial Launch.

The Hub will deliver new materials and modelling, smart construction, and rehabilitation systems required for future demands, while improving road safety and reducing environmental impact.The project is a partnership between several industry organisations, peak bodies and universities both local and international.

SPARC Hub Director Professor Jayantha Kodikara said: “SPARC will provide the incubation for industry innovation and skill development for future proofing Australia’s position in the pavement industry.”
