The Standing International Road Weather Conference has been held every two years since 1984. For much of that time, every other event had been co-located with PIARC, but this connection has recently been lost. This foresight session is designed to re-establish that connection by embedding SIRWEC 2026 as a ‘mini conference within a conference’ here in Chambery 2026.
Our mini conference is held over two sessions with each containing solicited presentations from SIRWEC colleagues. This second session loosely focuses on advances on technological advances and case studies.
