3. Description

3.1 Background and justification:

Sub-project 1 "The construction of purpose–built roadside inspection areas in order toenable effective traffic monitoring, vehicle safety inspections and the weighing of heavygoods vehicles"

In Romania, due to the relatively low road traffic previous to 1989, the road traffic monitoringregarding the heavy traffic represented a low component for the activity of the administrators ofthe roads.

Since the rehabilitation of a major part of the road network with the assistance of InternationalFinancing Institution (IFIs) a serious increase of the road traffic was registered. The heavy trafficis an important component on the national roads traffic flow.

Having in view the increasing of the road traffic, the Ministry of Public Works, Transport andHousing and the Ministry of Interior issued a joint Order (no 29/206/2002 and no 852/289/2001)which regulates the road traffic inspections. According to this order, the joint control teams(Romanian Road Transport Authority-ARR, Romanian Automotive Register-RAR, NationalAdministration of Roads-AND and General Inspectorate of Police-IGP) have to perform their dutyoutside the carriageway, on specific designed platforms for a joint simultaneously control,including the possibility of a partial or total transfer of goods and passengers (from the spacepoint of view). Following these requirements and taking into consideration the traffic safetyconditions and the technical operation of weighing installations, several criteria for the platformssites selection were set, such as:

• the status of the road (rehabilitated roads, under rehabilitation roads, roads to berehabilitated);

• the visibility criterion;• the vicinity criterion -the location of the platforms should be in the vicinity of the localities,

motels, restaurants etc., creating thus the possibility of a safe sheltering of the driversand of the immobilized passengers;

• the location within the influence area of the aggressive traffic – the platforms for the roadtraffic inspections should be situated within the influence area of the aggressive trafficgenerated by the mining, forestry operations, quarry and balast –pit aggregates andother areas which generate an aggressive technological traffic;

• the possibility to not avoid the inspections – the inspection platforms should be located inthe areas which should not allow, as much as possible, the avoidance of the inspectionby making a detour;

• the location on the straight road alignments – the platforms for the road traffic inspectionsshould be located on the straight road alignments, as well as on horizontal stretches onminimum 40 m; this condition is imposed by the working requirements of the weighinginstallations;

• the storage capacity – the site should allow the storage of a number of 4-8 motorvehicles, which means the existence of a straight and level platforms of 80-160 m and ofacceleration and deceleration lanes;

• the width of the platforms - the width of the platforms for the road traffic inspectionsshould allow the simultaneous access of the motor vehicles belonging to the controlauthorities, including RAR laboratory, as well as the possibility for the goods andpassengers transfer; the lengths of these platforms should be of about 7,0 – 8,0 m;

• the road structure - rigid structure of concrete for the platforms designed for inspectionsand semi-rigid structure of asphalt for the acceleration and deceleration bands.

The plan sizing of the inspection platforms was determined according to the preponderantheavy traffic volume, such as:

- between 0 – 750 vehicles/ day, 80 m length;- between 750 – 1500 vehicles/ day, 100 m length;- between 1500 - 2250 vehicles/ day, 120 m length;- between 2250 – 3000 vehicles/ day, 140 m length;- over 3000 vehicles/ day, 160 m length.

The preponderant heavy traffic was appreciated as follows:- lorries and trailers with two axles;- lorries and trailers with three or four axles;- joint vehicles;- busses;- special vehicles and wheel tractors.

The traffic data were taken from the technical office of NAR.

According to the first criterion a number of 40 sites for the inspection platforms wasidentified, out of which 26 are located on the rehabilitated and under rehabilitation roads and 14are situated on the roads to be rehabilitated in the future.

It is intended to propose the construction of 26 inspection platforms to be financed under thePhare Programme. The rest of 14 inspection platforms will be included in the rehabilitationprogrammes (see attached map, annex no 7).

For an accurate identification of the placement, design and costs evaluation of the inspectionplatforms, NAR commits itself to achieve this evaluation by using its own funds. NAR commitsitself to carry out and complete necessary land acquisitions.

Dynamic weighing devices will be installed before each inspection platform, at a distance of2-8 km, in order to ensure a pre-selection of the trucks.

Estimated data regarding the inspection platforms prioritization, placement and plan sizingare presented in annex no 4. The placement of the dynamic weighing devices are also presentedin annex no 4.

The controls performed in these purpose-built areas will have the following results:

• by diminishing the infringements of the social legislation, the human road safety side willimprove;

• by checking the technical aspects, the environmental protection will improve and the roadsafety will ameliorate due to technical aspects. By weighing the trucks, the charging policywill be applied for Romanian and foreign carriers at the same level;

• by implementing the EU legislation, the competition will be strengthen.

Sub-project 2: Assistance for completing the bridge management system on the national roadsnetwork in Romania

The bridge represents the critical link on roads network while very few bridges have sort detourways in case of failure. In the context of roads rehabilitation, the money spent for pavementrehabilitation is no longer efficient if the highway management does not stipulate in advance theworks for consolidation of bridges.

Using appropriate programming, the project should clearly document the costs of necessaryinterventions to bring the bridges to the reference quality level. While changing the policy towarda loading of 11.5 tones on axel, many bridges on Romanian network have not receivedappropriate consolidation and have not been yet included in the rehabilitation policy, as theirassessment is considered a first step.

In many cases the continuously increasing traffic during the last years, harsh weather withimportant annual and daily variation of extreme temperatures and instable river streamscontributed to deterioration of bridges in such a way that even the initial design loading capacity isno longer guaranteed.

Unlike the road, then bridge quality will rapidly decrease to a failure condition if materials used tobuild no longer have the minimum strength in order to ensure stability.

One of the consequences of Romania’s accession to European Union over roads network is thata bearing capacity of 11.5 tones per axel must be provided. Moreover, the fact that Romania is anapplicant country for accession to EU implies the implementation of EUROCODES in thecalculation of bridge structures.

Romania has around 3300 bridges 80% of which are erected more then 25 years ago. Particularclimatic, hydrologic, traffic conditions have induced especially in the last 13 years a continuousdepreciation in the condition of bridges inventory. A number of 1500 bridges are in differentstages of treatment by national or international programs. Beside of these, a number of 1800 arenot addressed yet. The project will contribute to complete the implementation of a bridgemanagement system in order to establish a regular evaluation of bridges as a basis forprogramming necessary works.

Sub-project 3 "Improvement of control activities and procurement of the mechanicaldevices for reading and interpreting the tachograph disks"

The implementation of Regulation 3820/85 on the harmonization of certain sociallegislation relating to road transport and Council Directive 88/599 on standardchecking procedures for implementation of Regulation 3820/50 were transposed withinthe Governmental Ordinance no. 17/24.01.2002 and the Law 101/1994.

The vehicles registrated in Romania, which carry out international transports, are equiped withrecording speed indicators (tachographs) according to AETR (European Agreement for Road

Transport), at which Romania is part. Regarding the endowments of the national transportvehicles with tachographs and restricting speed devices, according to Regulation 3821/85, a clearschedule (approved by the Minister of Public Works, Transports and Housing’s Order no1842/2001) was established as follows:

- until 31 December 2003 - the passenger transport vehicles for inter-county traffic(3.580 vehicles) and the freight transport vehicles with a capacity of 16 tonnes orhigher;

- until 31 December 2004 - the passenger transport vehicles for county traffic (3.746vehicles) and the freight transport vehicles with a capacity of 7 tonnes or higher;

- until 31 December 2005 - the passenger transport vehicles with a capacity over 9seats, the freight transport vehicles with a capacity of 3.5 tonnes or higher and thepassengers and freight transport vehicles for personal use.

According to some basic estimations, the percentage of vehicles exempted from theinstallment of the tachographs, at the date of adhesion, will be 20% of the totalvehicles fleet.

The Provisions of the Council Directive 88/599 regarding the control standard procedures aretransposed and applied by the joint Orders of Minister of Public Works, Transport and Housingand Minister of Interior no 29/206/2002 and no 852/289/2001. Romania is the beneficiary of atwinning project for road safety with authorities from France and Holland. One of the projectobjectives, train a number of 30 trainers, will be carried out in the third quarter of 2003. Until the31st of December 2006 these trainers will train 900 inspectors for road safety and traffic controlfor the Romanian Road Authority, Romanian Auto Register, National Administration of Roads andGeneral Inspectorate of Police, the competent institutions for the application of the Provisions ofthe Council Directive 88/599.

Regarding the development of the administrative capacity of ARR, the followingmeasures were taken:

- 50 employers of ARR obtained the auditor quality degree;- ARR and other two local agencies were audited in order to be certified by TUV;- in 2002 a new data base has been made operational; this data base offers

information in real time, regarding ARR activities in all counties;- in 2002, inside ARR were qualified 240 inspectors for dangerous freight control;- the number of persons with control attributions was increased in 2002 with 5% (14

persons); the total number of persons with control attributions is now 274.

Sub-project 4 "Procurement of road laboratory equipment to enforce the Europeanstandards"

The National Administration of Roads, a the administrator of the public domain for thenational roads network (14,880 km), has the responsibility of managing the funds forroad rehabilitation works, periodical maintenance, preserving the structural stability ofthe roads and ensuring the safety conditions for the road traffic. In this context, theverification of the roads quality is a must.

In Romania, control of road construction works quality is undertaken by a network ofseven regional road laboratories, each under the responsibility of a district of theNational Administration of Roads (NAR). In addition, CESTRIN (Centrul de StudiiTehnice, Rutiere si Informaticã = Centre for technical and road studies andinformatics), a national research and studies institute, likewise under the responsibilityof NAR, co-ordinates the activities of the regional laboratories and assist in theimplementation of the national norms.

The national norms (STAS) have been modified to take account the quality requirements in theEuropean Union, and, consequently, a range of new procedures using modern laboratory

Page 7: PHARE 2003 STANDARD SUMMARY PROJECT FICHE 1.4. …...PHARE 2003 STANDARD SUMMARY PROJECT FICHE 1. Basic Information 1.1 CRIS Number: ... (AP) and NPAA priority (and implementing measures

PHARE 2003/005-551.04.03 Version of 16.06.2003

equipment were embodied in the national STAS. For example, the Romanian standards took overthe European norms regarding the asphalt: EN 12697-1, EN 12697-3, EN 12697-4, EN 12697-27,EN 12697-28 or regarding the natural aggregates: EN 932-1, EN 932-2, EN 1097-1. TheseEuropean norms were translated and taken over as Romanian standards.

The existing laboratory equipment is either ageing or does not fit the regulations currently in forcein the European Union regarding the quality control..

In July 1998, CESTRIN finalised the implementation of a Pavement Management System (PMS)in the whole country. This system consists in a range of specific methods and instruments fordecidion making in order to find the best strategies for maintening and operation over a period oftime.The Pavement Management System allows analysis, planning, designing and execution of roadworks at the road section level and at the network level.Selection of various alternatives or intervention scenarious based on the cost-benefit analysis isone of this system advantage for the road administrator (central and regional level).The Pavement Management System can provide valuable information at the network level for thedevelopment of a proper programme for new construction works for maintenance or rehabilitation,with the optimisation of the available financial resources.

In order to ensure the functionality of the Pavement Management System, CESTRIN needs to beendow with the following investigation equipment:- Falling weight deflectometer self-propelled SH-SWD;- VISIROAD or equivalent device;- BUMP Integrator;- Longitudinal profile analyser;- Ultrasound transversoprofilometer;- Laser roughnessmeter.

The functioning of PMS is a conditionality for the road projects financed under theISPA Facility. By acquisition of the above mentioned equipment, this Phare projectbecomes a complementary one to the ISPA road projects.

CESTRIN employs a laboratory staff of approximately 20 persons, whilst each regionallaboratory comprises on average a staff of 15 laboratory technicians.

3.2 Linked activities:

• At the existing cross-border points the weighing stations for the heavy traffic were built inorder to monitor the movement of international heavy goods traffic. The construction workswere financed by the European Commission through Multi-Country, 1993, 1994, 1995 and1996 Programmes;

• Road construction projects (RO 9807.02.01, RO 9807.02.04, RO 9808.01, RO 9808.02., RO9808.03) and related work supervision projects (RO 9807.02.02) have contributed to theimplementation of European norms in quality control, either by financing contractors'equipment through the financing of construction contracts, or by recruiting consultants withinternational practice to instil European standards in the day-to day management of qualitycontrol;

• The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) has financed, since1998, a series of road safety actions: linear village safety, black points (40), improvement andother actions of road safety;

• RO 0107.11 "Improvement of the road safety and institutional building in the field of transport"- Twinning to further harmonise the road safety legislation and strengthen the relatedinstitutions in order to comply with the EU requirements;

The consultant will assistCESTRIN experts who must inspect thosebridges to carry out thoseinspections and to draft a structure’s notebook with the data describing each bridge and a visitnotebook with elements concerning the condition of the bridge.

The consultant will prepare a mid-term report and a final report providing recommendations forensuring the sustainability of this regular checking of bridges. In particular the reports will providerecommendations regarding procedures, staffing, equipment and training.

b) Identification of bridges for which there is a need for detailed inspection/study for structurallydeficient bridges.

Having in view available funds for necessary works, the consultant will assist the Romanianexperts to define a list of bridges for which detailed inspection/study will be carried out as apriority.

At this stage the experts will determine the exact bearing capacity of the structural deficientbridge and what rehabilitation works should be executed..

As there are different types of operations in the detailed inspection/study we considered only abase cost and the special operations and investigations are listed hereafter (c, d, e):

c) For the selected bridges, the consultant will assist the Romanian specialists to complete:

• Instrumentation and laboratory test

Instrumentation must be included to evaluate the displacement of element in static anddynamic trials on the bridge.

To evaluate the strength of the materials from the elements of the bridge samples must beextracted and tested in the laboratory.

• Geo-technical analysis and studies.

To evaluate the situation and the modifications of the condition of the soil geotechnical tests mustbe considered. Stability of the terrain and the characteristics of the foundation soil must beconsidered as part of the evaluation of some structurally deficient bridges when deficiencies arefound in the substructure.

• Hydraulic studies.

Where deficiencies are found in the stability of the stream and the scour, a hydraulic study mustbe fulfilled to evaluate the works to be done to stabilize the destructive evolution.

Having in view the large volum of works to be performed by the mobile control teams of ARR, thefollowing endowment is needed:• The priority list (2003 – 2004) of equipment to be purchased out of PHARE funds is as

follows:- tachograph disk reading devices including the related software (20 reading device with

the related software, 20 x16,135 EUR = 322,700 EUR);- program extension for reading in foreign languages (13,043 EUR);- soft for the road map(1,645 EUR);- 20 boxes for transport of the reading devices (20 x 344 EUR = 6,880 EUR);- laptops (about 10 pieces, 10 x 2,000 EUR = 20,000 EUR);

• The priority list (2003 – 2004) of equipment to be purchased out of beneficiaries funds is asfollows:- devices for reading tachograph diagrams in traffic (about 250 pieces, 250 x 45.80 EUR =

11,450 EUR);- laptops (about 30 pieces, 30 x 2,500 EUR = 75,000 EUR));- vehicles for traffic control (about 18, 18 x 13,000 EUR = 234,000 EUR)- devices for the control made at the operators’ headquaters in order to process the data

from tachograph diagrams (about 3 pieces, 3 x 2,839.6 EUR = 8,518.8 EUR).

In order to perform the control activities in traffic, the mobile control teams of the RomanianRoad Transport Authority need vehicles. These teams can obtain any time informationregarding the transport operators through the laptops which can be connected to the ARRdatabase.

The informatic network of ARR and the laptops will facilitate the access to the ARR databasein traffic as well as in the control points located in traffic.

The laptops can also be connected to the tachograph disk reading devices. This will allowthe analysis, in a very short time, of the working and resting time of thedrivers.

• Scope of the twinning light:

- the twinning light team will train the inspectors on how to use and interprert data displayedon the tachograph disk reading devices. After an initial training sessions, on-the job trainingactions will take place.- the twinning light team will advice the joint control teams to increase the quality andeffectiveness of controls. Short term experts will come on a regular basis to assess controls,provide recommendations and to perform on the job training actions.
