The ROSE project – Roads Saving Energy – aims at optimizing asphalt pavements in order to reduce rolling resistance.

Granted with 10 million DKK (approx. 1.3 EUR) from Innovation Fund Denmark, the project intends to design a durable asphalt pavement with a reduction of the rolling resistance resulting in at least 6.5 percentage reduction of passenger-car energy consumption compared to that of average present Danish roads.
