How can we contribute to improve the sustainability of road pavements throughout their life cycle?

How can we estimate the fuel consumption due to rolling resistance?

This research will combine real-time estimation of vehicle dynamics states and tyre-road contact parameters with the potentialities of data analytics and machine learning to estimate the additional vehicle fuel consumption due to rolling resistance.

Who are the software’s end-users and how will they use the software’s outcomes?

The software will be mainly used by road agencies and road pavement contractors. They will integrate the software into their decision-making process and leverage the software outcomes to design new pavement structures and maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategies commensurate with their technical requirements and sustainability goals
