Conference: Breakthrough for Electric Vehicles. Developing Winter Road Maintenance Technologies, Services and Business →. Condition of Bicycle Paths Can Be Measured Using Mobile App. February 27, 2015. Most documented single-bicycle accidents are related to bicycle path operation and maintenance. The ability to map the condition of bicycle paths and maintain them is a factor that could contribute to fewer such accidents in the future. Researchers have defined levels of these data indicating when the bicy...

Operational Measures Against PM10 Pollution in Stockholm. New Diesel Buses Pollute Less Than New Diesel Cars →. Comparison of Winter and Summer Tyres on Bare Roads Summer Time. May 25, 2015. The results showed that:. The braking distance on dry asphalt was about 15 per cent longer for winter tyres compared to summer tyres, regardless of the speed before braking. On wet asphalt the braking distance was 20 per cent longer for winter tyres compared to summer tyres, regardless of the speed before braking.
