The report and work of COST Action 333 sets in place the
foundation for a coherent, cost-effective and harmonised European
pavement design method. In order to do this, the work programme
focused on information gathering, identification of requirements
and the selection of the necessary design elements for such a
European design method. During the course of the Action, 20
countries signed the Memorandum of Understanding and participated
in the work, thus showing a very high level of interest in the
work programme and results.The document contains a very thorough
review of the position in Europe at the present time and
identifies the basic framework for a design method. It then
clearly shows the necessary steps to be taken in the future in
order to arrive at a method based on current best practice in the
shorter term, and then to move to improved versions.
