PavementLCM
CEDR Transnational Road Research Programme
CEDR Call 2017: New Materials
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.
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
To create the PavementLCM lookup tool as a user-friendly tool to help members of NRAs to find out most appropriate datasets, methodologies and results of previous LCM studies for a specific situation
To produce datasets of sustainability data and durability data of identified Green Asphalts for selected case studies, based on existing sustainability datasets and novel durability testing
To provide NRAs with a methodology and recommendations for coping with uncertainty of datasets of LCM exercises, both inputs and results, as well as roadmaps towards data harmonization at EU level
To produce guidelines and recommendations towards using LCM results within a multi-criteria sustainability assessment according to CWA 17089 and EN15804
PavementLCM it will provide NRAs with a glimpse of LCM methodological challenges and NRAs’ best practices leading towards a circular economy
