Using the visual intervention influence of pavement marking for rutting mitigation – Part II: visual intervention timing based on the finite element simulation
TLDR
In this paper, visual intervention has a significant influence on drivers' behavior, which may cause the redistribution of wheel tracks, relieving the stress from the concentration of axial loads so that the rut...Abstract:

Assess the impacts of different autonomous trucks’ lateral control modes on asphalt pavement performance
TL;DR: It has been confirmed that, if controlled appropriately, autonomous trucks could be highly beneficial to asphalt pavements for wider using of pavement, if without appropriate lateral control, the effect of autonomous trucks on the typical flexible pavement life could be negative, owing to repeated single point load caused by lane centering and keeping.

Self-healing properties of ferrite-filled open-graded friction course (OGFC) asphalt mixture after moisture damage
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of ferrite content on the pavement performance, mechanical properties and heating effect was studied through the indirect tensile fatigue test, the effects of microwave heating time, healing time and damage degree on the self-healing efficiency of moisture-damaged asphalt mixture before and after microwave heating were studied based on the evaluation indexes of the fatigue life extension ratio and fatigue life recovery ratio.

Using the visual intervention influence of pavement markings for rutting mitigation–part I: preliminary experiments and field tests
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method is proposed, which uses the vis vis of the wheel tracks on highways to reduce rutting on asphalt pavements, which reduces the service life of highway pavements.
