Climate change, energy production and consumption, and the need to
improve the sustainability of all aspects of human activity are key
inter-related issues for which solutions must be found and
implemented quickly and efficiently. To be successfully
implemented, solutions must recognize the rapidly changing
socio-techno-political environment and multi-dimensional
constraints presented by today’s interconnected world. As
part of this global effort, considerations of climate change
impacts, energy demands, and incorporation of sustainability
concepts have increasing importance in the design, construction,
and maintenance of highway and airport pavement systems. To
prepare the human capacity to develop and implement these
solutions, many educators, policy-makers and practitioners have
stressed the paramount importance of formally incorporating
sustainability concepts in the civil engineering curriculum to
educate and train future civil engineers well-equipped to address
our current and future sustainability challenges. This book will
prove a valuable resource in the hands of researchers, educators
and future engineering leaders, most of whom will be working in
multidisciplinary environments to address a host of next-generation
sustainable transportation infrastructure challenges. "This book
proposes a broad detailed overview of the actual scientific
knowledge about pavements linked to climate change, energy and
sustainability at the international level in an original
multidimensional/multi-effects way. By the end, the reader will be
aware of the whole global issues to care about for various pavement
technical features around the world, among which the implications
of modelling including data collection, challenging resources
saving and infrastructures services optimisation. This is a
complete and varied work, rare in the domain." Dr. Agnes Jullien

“An excellent compilation of latest developments in the field of
sustainable pavements. The chapter topics have been carefully
chosen and are very well-organized with the intention of equipping
the reader with the state-of-the-art knowledge on all aspects of
pavement sustainability. Topics covered include pavement Life Cycle
Analysis (LCA), pervious pavements, cool pavements, photocatalytic
pavements, energy harvesting pavements, etc. which will all be of
significant interest to students, researchers, and practitioners of
pavement engineering. This book will no doubt serve as an
excellent reference on the topic of sustainable
pavements.” Dr. Wei-Hsing Huang Editor-in-Chief of International
Journal of Pavement Research and Technology (IJPRT) and Professor
of Civil Engineering National Central University Taiwan
