A comparative environmental impact analysis of asphalt mixtures containing crumb rubber and reclaimed asphalt pavement using life cycle assessment

Sara Bressi et al.

Summary: The use of crumb rubber and reclaimed asphalt in asphalt mixtures can reduce environmental burdens in road construction and maintenance, but the additional consumption of resources and emissions associated with their treatment needs to be considered; life cycle assessment reveals that the treatment of CR has significant environmental impacts; mixtures containing RAP show improved environmental indicators.

Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to Introduce Weights to Social Life Cycle Assessment of Mobility Services

Katharina Gompf et al.

Summary: Decisions in social sustainability assessment of mobility services often involve multi-criteria decision-making and participatory processes. This research determines weightings for different criteria using the AHP method and involves participatory analysis with 48 experts from academic institutions, city authorities, and mobility service providers to analyze differences and similarities between groups. The results provide clear guidance for decision-makers in the field of sustainable urban mobility.

Challenges and Opportunities in Early Stage Planning of Transport Infrastructure Projects: Environmental Aspects in the Strategic Choice of Measures Approach

Sofia Eckersten et al.

Summary: The Strategic Choice of Measures (SCM) approach in Sweden aims to integrate diverse perspectives in early transport planning to adapt new infrastructure projects to their local context. Environmental aspects receive attention, but considerations for landscape and water resources are lacking, suggesting a need for stronger guidelines and connections in the SCM process.

Environmental Weight for Bid Evaluation to Promote Sustainability in Highway Construction Projects

Jakkawarn Somboonpisan et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel sustainable bidding model that evaluates environmental impacts using CO2 emissions from construction equipment operations. A case study in Thailand was conducted to assess the model's performance in specifying environmental weights for sustainable bidding, showing potential for incentivizing contractors to pursue sustainability. The developed model contributes to promoting practicality in existing green bidding mechanisms and reducing environmental impacts of construction equipment.
