Rolling resistance and traffic delay impact on a road pavement life cycle carbon footprint analysis
2017
The application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to road pavements has been continuously evolving and improving over the last years, however there are several limitations and uncertainties in the introduction of some components in the framework, such as road pavement rolling resistance—in terms of pavement surface properties—and traffic delay during maintenance activities. This paper analyses the influence of methodological assumptions and the model used to estimate the increased emissions for traffic delay and road pavement rolling resistance on the results of an LCA. The Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions related to these two phases of a pavement LCA will be calculated for a UK case study, us…
Impianti ettometrici ed infrastrutture puntuali per i trasporti
2011
Gli argomenti contenuti nel volume, sviluppano alcune tematiche riguardanti le caratteristiche di offerta del trasporto urbano e dei sistemi puntuali quali porti, aeroporti e stazioni ferroviarie con particolare riguardo al loro dimensionamento anche dal punto di vista della congruità delle capacità operative in relazione al più complessivo sistema della mobilità. I terminali delle infrastrutture lineari di trasporto e gli impianti meccanizzati per la mobilità urbana, denominati a corto raggio od ettometrici, completano la panoramica delle soluzioni oggi disponibili per formulare proposte risolutive alle problematiche poste dalla congestione e dalle altre esternalità negative del sistema de…
Interpreting Life Cycle Assessment results of bio-asphalt pavements for more informed decision-making
2020
Due to emerging climate challenges, engineers are looking to replace the conventional asphalt pavements by utilizing bio-materials combined with Reclaimed Asphalt (RA). However, there is insufficient record in the literature assessing their environmental performance. This study addresses the analysis of the results obtained from a life cycle assessment exercise of asphalt pavements containing bio-materials and RA within their binder courses, developed within the BioRePavation project. The aim is to analyze the environmental benefits achieved, by means of hotspot mapping and sensitivity analysis of the most impactful factors of their lifecycles. Two alternatives are compared to a conventiona…

The global comfort criteria as a tool for the optimization of the safety, quality and efficiency in the railway tracks.
2012
From the results of some memories already introduced in the VI International Conference of "Stochastic Geometry, Convex Bodies, Empirical Measure & Applications To Mechanics And Engineering Of Train-Transport", it’s improved now a criteria, based on global comfort analyses , that allows to optimize the safety of the exercise, the quality and the economic efficiency into the available resources.
Understanding Safety-Related Issues for Pedestrians at Modern Roundabouts. Journal of Sustainable Development, 5(4):23-37
2012
This paper examines the safety-related issues for pedestrians at modern roundabouts. For this purpose findings of research studies documented in the scientific literature and best practices have been examined trying to focus on roundabout installations by a pedestrians safety perspective. Whereas one of the main reasons for which roundabouts are built is related to safety benefits, roundabout design features and implications in road casualties have been commented first to evaluate the influence of roundabouts on pedestrian safety and then to identify design elements that have such a high potential for traffic safety. At last, measures and treatments that can be taken in the roundabouts desi…
