The Australian Research Council (ARC) Smart Pavements Hub, SPARC, aims to advance and transform the Australian transport industry by addressing short, medium and longer term transport challenges through high-quality, collaborative research in innovative materials, smart technologies and advanced design, construction and maintenance methods, making Australia's transport pavements more smart and sustainable.
For the first time in history, the SPARC creates a national innovation platform linking the full value-chain of universities, road research organisations, contractors and road authorities to transform and future-proof the transport pavements industry, making transport pavements (road, airport, and min-haul pavements) cost-effective, longer-lasting, safer, with a lower environmental footprint and ability to adapt to future transport demands, saving billions of dollars in short, medium and longer term.
