TerraRoad

Tampere University
Area of focusTechnology

The TerraRoad group’s research area covers a wide range of infrastructures and the properties of the materials used in them, from aggregate mineralogy and the analysis of fines fractions to full-scale structural monitoring. 

Our special strengths also include the ability to rely on our research laboratory GEOLA’s comprehensive range of research equipment and our solid experience in monitoring the condition and performance of real-scale infrastructures. A recent example of our development work that innovatively combines modern monitoring technologies and data processing methods is an automatic classifier for the recognition of studded tires. In the field of material technology, we are currently investing heavily in our capabilities to study the properties of asphalt mixes.

TerraRoad is part of Research Centre Terra that consists of four groups: TerraGeo, TerraRoad, TerraRail and TerraDigi.
