Popis: In 2009, the US cement and concrete industries established the Concrete Sustainability Hub at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A primary thrust of MIT’s activities has been improving the Life Cycle Assessment practices to better quantify the environmental impacts over the life of a pavement. In their research, the MIT CSHub determined that the “use phase,” and specifically Pavement Vehicle Interaction (PVI) has a very large impact on a Pavement’s sustainability aspects. This paper will summarize the CSHub PVI research findings to date.
