FHWA Sustainable Pavement System: A Webinar Series Working in collaboration with the Sustainable Pavement technical Working group of FHWA, the coordination of the PAVEMENT LCM project would like to invite members of the European National Road Authorities in advancing their
Life Cycle Management of green asphalt mixtures and road pavement
CEDR Transnational Road Research Programme
CEDR Call 2017: New Materials
OUR objectives
Tailor guidelines towards the introduction of Life Cycle Management (LCM) in National Road Authorities with a focus on Sustainability Assessment
To act as a platform for interactive transfer of knowledge on best practices on sustainability assessment and Life Cycle Management
To produce the PAVEMENT LCM package of tools, guidelines, datasets, roadmaps and recommendations to introduce life cycle management practices into National Road Authorities.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Create a general LCM framework
To create a general LCM framework with templates and case studies to carry out harmonised sustainability assessments of both asphalt mixtures and road pavements and to transfer the knowledge with a training tailored to NRAs
