Science propagation journal paper. Road operation and maintenance are the main part of road asset management. Only cost efficient and timely repair of deteriorated pavements ensures optimal and balanced use of funds allocated to road maintenance, as well as cost savings for the society. However, it should be noted that any intervention into traffic lane, where works are carried out without closing of traffic, causes discomfort to road users. In road work zones, the likelihood of accidents increases.

Science propagation journal paper. Based on the data of World Health Organization (2015), each year over 1.2 million people die each on the world’s roads, with millions serious injuries and living with long-term adverse health consequences. Globally, road traffic accidents are a leading cause of death among young people with the main percentage between 15 and 29 years. The excessive speed is one of the main risk factors to road traffic safety, enhancing accident probability and affecting accident severity. Speeding affects the severity of collisions, in particular, accidents where the most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists are involved as well. According to the Speed Management (2006), speeding is a widespread social problem, as usually approximally 50 % of drivers are driving above the speed limit. Looking forward to highest effectiveness, complexity of education, engineering and control measures should be taken into account. To achieve the maximum efficiency, measures should be recognizable and understandable. Seeking to understand road users’ attitude to traffic safety, surveys on public opinion were initiated by Road Research Institute of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

Science propagation journal paper. Speeding is one of the most important causes of road accidents and probably the most widely spread violation of Traffic Rules. Speeding influence to severity of the collisions and to the severity of accidents with vulnerable road users – pedestrians and cyclists. In 2015, vulnerable road users were the most violate road users in Lithuania expressed as 42.3 % of the total number traffic accidents. Survey of road users concluded that speeding is the most common violation ‒ 54 % of respondents. 36 % of drivers report violating the speed limit “frequently” or “constantly”. Nevertheless, 96 % of respondents accept as appropriate vertical speed reduction measures, and 78 % ‒ as appropriate automated speed control system. Research results showed need of implementation of traffic calming measures groups in the rural–urban transitions. Single measures are not sufficient to control the speed on longer distance than 200–300 meters. Selection of traffic calming measures groups should depend on function of the road and distance between measures fitted to speed limit.

Science propagation journal paper. Depending on asphalt purpose various type of aggregates are used for its production in Lithuania. Dolomite aggregates are often used for asphalt binder layer, base and base-wearing layers. In Lithuania and foreign countries aggregates with high resistance to fragmentation and polishing are selected for asphalt wearing layer of heavy duty pavement. In Lithuania, granite aggregates are often used for asphalt wearing layer, but this magnetic rock is imported from other countries. Dolomite is one of the most available sedimentary rock in Lithuania. Either, high strength dolomite is produced applying special extraction technology, therefore the mechanical properties of this material are similar to granite. The aim of this research is to design rut resistant asphalt mix with dolomite aggregates. The research was made in 2015 at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Road Research Institute. Two type of asphalt mix were designed (asphalt concrete AC 11 VS and stone mastic asphalt) using granite and high strength dolomite aggregates. These asphalt mixtures were designed based on fundamental properties in accordance to standard EN 13108-1. Resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) is achieved by high content of air voids (3–4 %) and optimized granular composition. The research shows that positive influence to resistance to permanent deformation could be achieved by optimizing quantity of binder and granular composition of aggregates. Asphalt concrete mix AC 11 VS with high strength dolomite aggregates could be used for the 2nd and lower asphalt pavement class wearing layer. The use of stone mastic asphalt mix SMA 11 S with strength dolomite aggregates for asphalt wearing layer should be evaluated additionally, taking into account the change of physical and mechanical properties of high strength dolomite aggregates during road maintenance.

An interview-based science propagation article broadcast by www.15min.lt – one of the most readable news portals in Lithuania. According to the data of European environmental agency almost half of the European Union cities are suffering from immoderate noise. Mainly this noise is caused by the traffic of roads, railways and aircrafts. To solve this problem the group of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University researchers designed national climate conditions based inaudible asphalt layer, which enables to decrease nose level by 2-4 decibels and by this way notably improves resident’s quality of life.

Science propagation journal paper. The scientists of Road Department and Road Research Institute of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University had a visit to the Minnesota State, USA. The aim of the visit was to get acquainted with the Minnesota experimental test road section (MnROAD), administered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, its construction peculiarity, research results, data processing and new initiatives. Climatic conditions in the Minnesota State are very close to those in Lithuania. The whole experimental test road section is divided into more than 50 separate segments comprising pavement structures of different design and different materials. From static and dynamic sensors installed at the test section data is transferred to the data collection centre situated in close territory. A database of this centre gives possibility to use data of all research stages from the construction of the test section until now. The newly made contacts will make it possible to transfer new technologies to the Lithuanian road sector and to create international innovations based on the experience of two experimental roads and the constantly obtained new research data.

Science propagation journal paper. Winter season in Lithuania lasts 5–6 months. As in many European and other countries in the world, traditional materials of winter road maintenance are used: NaCl, CaCl2, their mixes or more ecological products manufactured on their basis. On gravel roads or low-volume roads the mixes of NaCl and frictional materials (sand, crushed stone) are used. For maintenance purposes (to reduce slipperiness) a wet salt technology is applied or spreading of chloride- frictional material mixes.
