About these proceedings

Introduction

Experts discuss how to repair, rehabilitate and modernize the transportation infrastructure in emerging Central Europe. The focus is on applying modern engineering technologies and management decision-making technologies to solve common and regional environmental issues in ground transportation, with emphasis on roads and bridges. The book includes situation, position and technical papers and state-of-the-art presentations from scientific and engineering experts as well as from government agency officials responsible for national and regional transport. Concise, cogent recommendations are presented. The reader is provided with current information on related environmental and transportation issues. Experts and lay readers will benefit from the information on economic, social, and political aspects.
