Abstract

The Lithuanian Gravel Roads Paving Programme was first implemented in 1998 based on extensive research of the conditions of Lithuanian gravel roads and a gravel road paving economic feasibility evaluation mathematical model called KAMIS. This paper evaluates the Programme and the KAMIS model. The model is built for Lithuanian climatic, economic and technological conditions, but it could be adopted in other regions with freeze-and-thaw climates. After 8 years of model application for appraisal of the Lithuanian Gravel Roads Paving Programme, it is estimated that application of the Programme and model have resulted in a 1,09 billion LTL (316 million €) gain for Lithuanian society.
