The evaluation of road infrastructure development projects

The evaluation of road infrastructure development projects is an important stage in the development process, as it makes it possible to check upon completion whether the designed infrastructure meets the objectives originally set for it. Since this stage is too often poorly known and forgotten, the Belgian Road Research Centre has developed an evaluation methodology for use by the Brussels Mobility department of the Brussels Capital Region. This methodology was applied to a number of major road infrastructure projects and yielded detailed information on the quality of the developed infrastructure and on any improvements to be made to it in order to meet its pre-set objectives as closely as possible.
