“…In the next stage the delivery of materials is taken into account, where a transport sensitivity analysis was carried out in order to evaluate the influence of delivery distances of the alternative materials and recycled aggregates on the results (cf. Mladenovič et al, 2014). The results should thus be interesting for the construction industry in general, and will aid managers in making choices about such recycling scenarios (with regard to the use of alternative materials), which should result in relatively low environmental burdens.…”

“…Furthermore in the literature, other solutions have been mentioned as having the potential to improve pavement sustainability. They include (but are not limited to): (1) in-place pavement recycling (Thenoux et al, 2007;Robinette and Epps, 2010;Santos et al, 2015a); (2) pavement preservation strategies and preventive treatments (Giustozzi et al, 2012); (3) longlasting pavements (Lee et al, 2011;Sakhaeifar et al, 2013); (4) reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS) materials (Illinois Interchange, 2012); (5) wearing course with very-high RAP content (Zaumanis and Mallick 2015;Lo Presti et al, 2016;Pires et al, 2017); (6) industrial wastes and byproducts (Birgisdóttir et al, 2006;Carpenter et al, 2007;Carpenter and Gardner, 2009;Huang et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2010;Sayagh et al, 2010;Mladenovič et al, 2015), etc.…”

As pavement community members head into the future, the increasing social pressure towards the incorporation of sustainable principles into their work urge them (1) to come up with new materials and practices that reduce the negative impacts of their activities in the surroundings and (2) to develop methodologies and tools to encourage sustainable decision-making. To this end, this paper presents the development of a life cycle, performance-based, sustainability decision support system (DSS) for helping decision-makers (DMs)/stakeholders to prioritize alternative technologies for transportation systems with the ultimate objective of fostering sustainability in transportation projects. The framework relies on a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method to rank the sustainability of alternatives based on their life cycle sustainability performances and the relative priorities with respect to each environmental, economic and social criterion. The applicability of the proposed DSS is illustrated by means of a case study that aims to identify the most sustainable asphalt mixture amongst several promising options ranging from low to hot temperature asphalt for wearing courses of flexible road pavements. The sustainability assessment applies life cycle-based approaches to quantify the values of a set of indicators purposely and methodologically selected to capture the cause-effect link between the general concepts of the three Wellbeing dimensions of sustainability, i.e., environmental, economic and social, and the infrastructure construction and maintenance practice. The results show that a foamed WMA mixture with a RAP content of 50% is the most sustainable among the competing alternatives. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis conducted to investigate the influence of indicators weights and parameters of the MCDA method on the stability of the ranking showed that its first position in the ranking remained unaffected.

“…Importance of lighting was investigated in some papers. Unanimously, it was demonstrated that vehicles light on asphalt pavements require 50% more lighting power than those on concrete pavement to have adequate illumination for driving (Klöpffer 2014, Mladenovič et al 2015. It was also investigated that using recycled materials such as glass in asphalt can lead to greater reflectance compared to conventional asphalt (Weidema et al 2013).…”
