University of Waterloo civil engineering professor Ralph Haas, a researcher of pavement management technology and transport infrastructure, knows paveâ€" ment. In fact, Haas, who was recently elected chairman of the International Society for Asphalt Pavements, has writâ€" ten the book on pavement â€" Modern Pavement Management. PAVING THE WAY And when it comes to the condition of roads, Haas says that people really don‘t pay too much attention to them â€"until a pot hole appears. "It‘s like your car when it looks all nice and shiny. Then, all of a sudden, you begin to see rust spots coming through and you know then you‘re in big trouble. Pavements are no different," Haas says. "It‘s like an investment or an asset. If you don‘t maintain it, it‘s going to cost you more money in the long run."

"Bauman told me, ‘When I develo 543 * my road repair and maintenance png “ $ gOIIIl grams in the city, I try to base it on good judgment, but I‘m really vulnerâ€" yo“ mor able because I don‘t have a solid _ jn the lo objective basis to set my priorities.‘ So we went to work and we developed â€"| the first working systems based around Waterloo as the pilot city," Haas says. "Much of the technology arose from the cooperation of the city." A stretch of city road can differ from one block to another. Residential roads compared to high traffic roads, such as Weber Street, are treated differently. And when a city grows, its roads also have to adapt to growth. Haas points, as an example, to University Avenue. Now a Regional Road, University Avenue used to be a city road named Dearborn Street, and it ffDunnorcets Marinoni AY og t LLJ asset. If you don‘t maintain it, it‘s going to cost you more money in the long run."

"China has a diversified terrain from tropical, desert, mountainous and winter conditions.

"As well, their truck and car fleet is growing at a rapid rate which they realize will take its toll on the roads.
