The RGS will measure the success of this study by using specialized types of sensors to monitor the resistance and efficiency of the sections during the tests, while evaluating the performance of the experimental sections using the heavy traffic load simulator, which is the first device of its kind in the Middle East in terms of simulating climate and traffic loads.
The evaluation work will continue in the first phase for a year, during which examination and evaluation work will be carried out, and results and recommendations will be analyzed.
