Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the use of recycled solid waste materials in asphalt pavements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed standards and literature for technical requirements, as well as the performance of asphalt pavements constructed using such recycled materials (waste glass, steel slag, tyres and plastics).
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a life cycle assessment tool for construction and maintenance of asphalt pavements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a case study of an asphalt paving project at London Heathrow Terminal-5 (LHR), in which natural aggregates were replaced with waste glass, incinerator bottom ash (IBA) and recycled asphalt pavements (RAP).
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative study of the emissions by road maintenance works and the disrupted traffic using life cycle assessment and micro-simulation

TL;DR: In this article, a model for pavement construction and maintenance is developed and applied to an asphalt pavement rehabilitation project in the UK, and the simulation results are fed into a traffic emissions model and emissions from the roadwork and the traffic are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of urban land-use on non-motorised transport casualties.

TL;DR: The relationship between non-motorised road traffic casualties and land-use was investigated in two zones of approximately 8 km2 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England and found that pedestrian casualties in the city centre zone are particularly associated with an increase in retail and community land- use during working hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the traffic-related environmental impacts of hydraulic-fracturing (fracking) operations.

TL;DR: A scoping-level environmental assessment for individual and groups of fracking sites using a newly-created Traffic Impacts Model (TIM), which is designed to be adaptable to any geographic area where the required input data is available, and could be deployed as a tool to help reach more informed decisions regarding where and how fracking might take place.
