Background: This study aims to examine to what extent sustainability has been incorporated into assessments of road infrastructure projects. It identifies promising approaches that include indicators reflecting core sustainability criteria, determines criteria that were insufficiently covered as indicators, and develops an integrated indicator set covering all criteria. Methods: A systematic review was performed to obtain all related papers/reports in two academic databases: Scopus and Web of Sciences. The indicators extracted from papers/reports were first coded, then evaluated by using quantitative and qualitative content analysis. Results: The project appraisal methods for decision-making is found to be a promising approach, covering more extensive criteria than others. Two criterianamely adaptation and precaution and intergenerational equitywere hardly ever adopted as indicators. Ten main groups of indicators were extracted to construct an integrated set incorporating all core criteria. Conclusions: Some criteria appear to have become mainstream, while others deserve attention. The safest choice is to combine methods/tools or to adopt the integrated set developed for exhaustive criteria inclusion.

“…The main focus of the actual engineering approach is to provide projects with technical excellence, something that currently does not only refer to technical and aesthetic strength, but also includes ways in which sustainability is taken into account in design, construction and operation. In response to these demands, the emergence of a sustainability rating tool for infrastructure become important [6] III. METHODOLOGY…”

“…In addition to investment effectiveness, social and environmental aspects need to be considered so that a balance between the main functions of the road can be achieved, the benefits of improving the economy, the benefits of fulfilling the social needs of the community, and achieving a negative impact on the environment. Performance and sustainability assessments are intended to optimize the function of road infrastructure assets so that they not only fulfill the technical strength and aesthetics of design, but also improve the economy and at the same time provide social equality and reduce the negative impacts caused by the environment [6]. In conducting these assessments, it is necessary to determine the criteria and sub-criteria and the weights which are the objectives of this study.…”

This study aims to determine factors influencing performance assessment of road infrastructure and design proposals for non-toll road performance and sustainability assessment models. As of now, the existing assessment is limited to the construction of new roads and road improvements. It also still needs some exploration by using other sub-criteria that have not been used, especially for roads that have been operated and maintained. The design of the road infrastructure performance assessment model is done by selecting sub criteria based on literature reviews and expert interviews. Then filtering out variables using relative important index (RII) and weighting variables using pairwise comparisons method. Based on the results of the analysis, economic criteria have the highest weight of 30%, followed by engineering criteria of 26%, then social criteria of 20.1%, environmental criteria of 12.1% and finally management criteria with weights of 11.8%. A paradigm change needs to be done so that in a development not only does it prioritize the increase of economic activities, but it also needs to be considered for management aspects and environmental aspects, with the word weight gain on economic criteria and engineering criteria, which can be reduced to minimize the gap with interests in the 2 criteria that have low weight.

“…The first article (Griffiths et al, 2018) evaluates a few sustainability rating tools for civil infrastructure projects that are currently being used in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and North America. The evaluation, which addresses gaps, biases, challenges and opportunities associated with these tools, is based on actual project data and the perspectives of the tool user.…”

EditorialAs guest Editors, we are pleased to present the first part of a themed issue of Infrastructure Asset Management on highway infrastructure decision-making: challenges and opportunities. This themed issue is devoted to recent research on the contexts and factors that influence decision-making for highway infrastructure. The articles in this issue address decision-related matters pertaining to the entire spectrum of highway infrastructure development (planning, designing, financing, acquisition, construction, maintenance and renewal, and disposal), including issues of resilience and sustainability. In response to the call for papers, we received expressions of interest from researchers from both academia and industry. In total, twenty-five papers were submitted for possible publication. Three to eight reviewers evaluated each paper anonymously and rigorously for quality, originality, and scholarly contribution.In conformity with the journal's usual practice of three/four papers per publication, the articles chosen for this special issue will be published in four installments. The papers presented in this first installment cover topics related to infrastructure investment evaluation with a focus on sustainability and decision support criteria and methodology.
