Traffic models from a velocity point of view and implementation of traffic conditions in excess fuel consumption estimates
The estimation of excess fuel consumption due to pavement - vehicle interactions (PVI) is receiving an increasing amount of attention, for it has major economic and ecological implications for the design and maintenance of road networks. As any dissipative mechanisms, the ones we find in the …

Development of mechanistic rolling resistance model for pavement life cycle assessment
… of mechanistic RR model to capture the impact of excess fuel consumption (EFC) and dynamic wheel load (DWL) caused by pavement roughness. The study begins with the development of regional life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) databases and models for Illinois. The LCIA databases were regionalized …

Uncertainty quantification for pavement life-cycle stages
… impact on transportation-related energy consumption. Pavement related RR mainly includes pavement structure, surface roughness (or smoothness) and texture. This research aims at addressing current challenges in pavement LCA use stage. A robust framework is proposed to evaluate RR via …
