Beschreibung
This book brings together scientific experts in different areas that contribute to the design, analysis, and performance of sustainable pavements. This book also contributes to transportation engineering challenges and solutions, evaluate the state of the art, identify the shortcomings and opportunities for research, and promote the interaction with the industry. In particular, scientific topics that are addressed in this book include the use of different waste and recycled materials to improve pavement performance, pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, urban heat island due to transportation infrastructure and its mitigation techniques, machine learning applications in the prediction of pavement distresses, and analysis of pavement overlay.
