Description
Summary:This paper demonstrates the sustainability of induction-healed asphalt mixtures (HEALROAD) by comparing the impacts this technology causes with those generated by asphalt mixtures maintained byconventional practices such as mill and overlay. The functional unit selected is a 1 km lane with ananalysis period of 30 years, and the stages considered are production, construction, maintenance,congestion, leaching and end-of-life. Two case studies have been analysed to evaluate the influence ofdifferent traffic strategies on the environmental impact of each maintenance alternative. Results showthe benefits of using the induction technology at hot points where traffic jams occur. This work was supported by the ERA-NET Plus Infravation 2014 Call under grant agreement no. 31109806.0003 - HEALROAD. Funding partners of the Infravation 2014 Call are: Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu, Rijkswaterstaat, The Netherlands, Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung, Germany, Danish Road Directorate, Denmark, Statens Vegvesen Vegdirektoratet, Norway, Trafickverket-TRV, Sweden, Vegagerdin, Iceland, Ministere de l’Ecologie du Developpement Durable et de l’ Energie, France, Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial, Spain, Anas S.P.S, Italy, Netivei Israel - National Transport Infrastructure Company LTD, Israel and Federal Highway Administration USDOT, USA. The HEALROAD project has been carried out by the University of Cantabria, University of Nottingham, German Federal Highways Research Institute (BASt), European Union Road Federation (ERF), Heijmans Integrale projecten B.V. and SGS INTRON B.V.
