Roads and Airports Pavement Surface Characteristics

Roads and Airports Pavement Surface Characteristics contains the papers presented at the 9th International Symposium on Pavement Surface Characteristics (SURF 2022, Milan, Italy, 12-14 September 2022). The symposium was jointly organized by the Italian company that manages Italy’s National Roads (ANAS –Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group), the World Road Association (PIARC) and Politecnico di Milano. The contributions aim to improve the quality of pavement surface characteristics while accomplishing efficiency, safety, sustainability, and addressing new generation mobility needs. The book covers topics from emerging research to engineering practice, and is divided in the following sections:

Advanced and performing construction methods and equipment

Next generation mobility

Data monitoring and performance assessment

Surface features and performances

Maintenance and preservation treatments

Pavement management

Economic and political strategies

Safety and risk issues

Minimizing road impacts

Sustainability and performances issues about materials and design

Pavements surfaces and urban heat islands

Weather conditions impact

Airport pavements

Roads and Airports Pavement Surface Characteristics is of interest to academics, engineers and professionals in the fields of pavement engineering, transport infrastructure, and related disciplines.
