kasutustigast

Kasutustiga is a measure of the useful strength of a road surface, commonly used in Estonia and other parts of the Baltic region. It is estimated by the proportion of a road's surface that can be used for traffic, taking into account various factors such as the condition of the surface, the types of traffic that use the road, and the safety standards of the road.

The Kasutustiga system rates the road surface on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 representing a road surface that can be used for all types of traffic. The measurement is typically taken by surveying the surface for defects such as cracks, potholes, and uneven stretches, and then estimating the percentage of the surface that is suitable for traffic.

A Kasutustiga rating of 0-20 is considered to be in a very poor condition and is not safe for use. A rating of 21-40 is considered poor, while 41-60 is considered fair. A rating of 61-80 is considered good, and 81-100 is considered excellent. The Kasutustiga system is widely used in the construction and maintenance of Estonian roads, and is an important tool for evaluating the condition and safety of the road network.

The Kasutustiga system is based on a similar principle to the European Association for Ab SPE road dataset protocol, but is specifically designed to meet the needs of Estonia and other Baltic states. It is an important component of the country's road maintenance strategy, and plays a key role in ensuring the safety and usability of the country's road network for the benefit of drivers and pedestrians alike.
