Abstract

The infrastructures of the future will have to be sustainable, seamless, resilient and durable, will respect the principles of circular economy and will have to be easy to monitor and manage. New technologies are currently available or under development to reduce the carbon footprint of infrastructures and to increase the overall sustainability and recyclability of transport while maintaining the utility and value of the infrastructures. However, the impact of these new solutions will only be effective once these are thoroughly disseminated and extensively deployed. The papers contained in this volume demonstrate how technological solutions and new design and management methodologies can be implemented in different surface transport modes (roads, railways and waterways) to increase transport sustainability by improving infrastructures design, maintenance, recyclability and management. Both theoretical research and practical case studies explore topics such as characterization of pavements, bridges and soils, use of recycled and warm mix asphalts as well as high-performance materials to increase durability or to reduce the noise impact.
