PAVIREX
New safer pavements in extreme temperature conditions
Description
The PAVIREX project, “New safer pavements in extreme temperature conditions”, was co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and FEDER Funds, through the INNPACTO 2011 call. The consortium of the project is formed by CARTIF, Grupo Campezo, Euroestudios , Proas (Cepsa), Eiffage, the University of Oviedo and the University of the Basque Country.
Objectives
The main objective of the project is the development of specific bituminous mixtures with improved response to extreme temperatures and situations, such as the formation of ice on the road.
An intelligent predictive system based on data acquirers will be developed, capable of offering the probability of short-term ice formation, with the objective of proceeding with the warming of the road by means of preheated fluid pipes and avoid the formation of ice.
Actions
A CARTIF anti-ice prototype of 25 x 3.5 m2 has been developed, consisting of three independent modules of 5 x 3.5 m2 each, with different tube distributions and different mixtures. A geothermal installation has been used to raise the water temperature. In order to power the intelligent predictive icing system, the weather conditions on the roadway and the temperatures inside the asphalt mixture and the circuit water have been sensed
Expected results
- Development of new materials, including new modified binders from additives that give the bituminous mixture a better response to ice situations.
- Development of a road heating system using geothermal hot water pipes embedded in the asphalt mixture, together with an intelligent predictive system, based on the sensorization of the roadway and the existing atmospheric conditions, capable of offering the probability of ice formation at short term.

Cultural Heritage projects:
RURACTIVE
RURACTIVE encourage a just and sustainable transition of rural areas through intelligent solutions, lead by the community, tailor-made, based on the local and inclusive inside the multi-stakeholder rural innovation ecosystems at 12 pilot areas (Dynamos, Ds).
SRURAL
SRURAL aims to investigate and advance in recognized disruptive technologies (cognitive computing, edge computing and dynamic geo-information), in addition to demonstrate their application in our natural spaces and their extensive cultural heritage (cultural landscapes as a whole), in such a way that causes a real transformation of the territory providing practical ways of proceeding with management
TExTOUR
TExTOUR mobilizes 18 partners, represented in the quintuple social innovation helix (knowledge, business, society, government and entrepeneurs) to co-design, validate and upscale to various levels, policies and strategies with positive impact on the socio-economic territorial development based on cultural tourism.
RURITAGE
RURITAGE enables rural regeneration through cultural and natural heritage (CNH). Has selected 13 rural areas as Role Models, i.e. successful cases regenerated thanks to CNH in 6 Systematic Innovation Areas.
ITEHIS
Inovative and digital technologies to proceed to the technical inspection of historical buildings for public or private use. The methodology proposed is based on the HBIM (Heritage BIM) paradigm
INSITER
INSITER eliminate the gaps in quality and energy-performance between design and realization of energy-efficient buildings based on prefabricated components.
SHCITY
SHCITY addresses the innovative challenge of creating a unique tool to manage historic urban centers and facilitate the work of the competent authorities in decision making. SHCITY will integrate data collected by sensor networks with artificial vision and 3D scanning technologies deployed in the urban area (Ávila), in order to respond to conservation, security, energy efficiency and tourism needs.
RENERPATH-2
The goal of the project called “Energy Refurbishment Methodology for Heritage Buildings” (RENERPATH-2) is to establish a specific European pre-normative, focused on the energy refurbishment of heritage buildings, whether public or private use, in parallel with the newly constructed buildings law.
INFIT
In INFIT, automatic data capture systems have been developed to obtain an accurate and objective image of the tunnel surface.
SITEER
Currently, inspections of road and rail tunnels are carried out manually. CARTIF and Geocisa have studied how to implement technologies that allow inspecting automatically tunnels to achieve its preventive maintenance, developing a system which is able to organize the collected data.
RENERPATH
This project, which was developed between 2011 and 2013, established an energy rehabilitation methodology based on novel and non-intrusive techniques for the energy analysis applicable to public and private heritage buildings.
