Abstract

In order to further promote the development of functional pavement technology, a Special Issue of “Achievements and Prospects of Functional Pavement” has been proposed by a group of guest editors. To reach this objective, articles included in this Special Issue are related to different aspects of functional pavement, including green roads to decrease carbon emission, noise, and pollution, safety pavement to increase skid resistance by water drainage and snow removal, intelligent roads for monitoring, power generation, temperature control and management, and durable roads to increase service life with new theory, new design methods, and prediction models, as highlighted in this editorial.

Highlights

  • The collection includes invited papers from experts in international communities and articles that have been selected from the 2019 World Transport Convention (WTC) held in June 2019 in Beijing, the 4th

  • Materials modification technologies are widely used in pavement engineering to improve the performance of pavement materials. In this Special Issue, rock asphalt (RA) [4,5], diatomite [4], Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) [5], nano-CaCO3 [5], and Bio-Char [6] were used as modifiers for bitumen and were evaluated in detail

  • Characterization research on pavement materials is important for durable pavement design and construction

Summary

Introduction

Research on the application of waste material in pavement construction is considered to be one of the most economical ways to achieve sustainable, designed green pavements. In this Special Issue, rock asphalt (RA) [4,5], diatomite [4], Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) [5], nano-CaCO3 [5], and Bio-Char [6] were used as modifiers for bitumen and were evaluated in detail. High technologies are applied in intelligent pavement construction, which improves the functions or endows new functions to pavements.
