Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Roads play a crucial role in the development of countries and the quality life of their citizens, which is why this Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in road pavement research, addressing key challenges and opportunities in the field. Despite being a fundamental part of transportation infrastructures, road pavements face ongoing challenges related to durability, sustainability, and performance under varying environmental conditions. This Special Issue seeks to address these challenges by showcasing innovative research and technological advancements in road pavements science and engineering.
We invite original contributions describing new research, case studies, projects, reviews and state-of-the-art discussions on the following and related topics:
- Advancements in pavement design;
- Novel construction methods and materials;
- Pavement-related safety issues;
- Innovative surface treatments;
- Pavement behavior modelling and simulation;
- New mobility challenges in urban pavement design;
- Pavement surface characteristics and ride quality;
- Sustainable approaches in pavement design;
- Pavement monitoring methods;
- New maintenance and rehabilitation techniques and technologies.
This Special Issue will appeal to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of civil engineering, materials science, transportation engineering, and infrastructure management. The insights presented in this Special Issue will be valuable for professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of asphalt pavements.
