WELCOME 

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Smart Pavements Hub, SPARC, aims to advance and transform the Australian transport industry by addressing short, medium and longer term transport challenges through high-quality, collaborative research in innovative materials, smart technologies and advanced design, construction and maintenance methods, making Australia's transport pavements more smart and sustainable.

​

For the first time in history, the SPARC creates  a national innovation platform linking the full value-chain of universities, road research organisations, contractors and road authorities to transform and future-proof the transport pavements industry, making transport pavements (road, airport, and min-haul pavements) cost-effective, longer-lasting, safer, with a lower environmental footprint and ability to adapt to future transport demands, saving billions of dollars in short, medium and longer term.
