(Science, Society and New Technologies: Research for Innovative Transports Set), Volume 5B, 1st Edition
by Jean-Michel Torrenti (Editor), Francesca La Torre (Editor)
This volume presents the second
half of a diverse collection of chapters in the field of materials and
infrastructures in transport systems, which illustrate the technological
and methodological innovations required to rise to the challenge of
building more sustainable transport infrastructures for the future. The
authors explore the potential of these sustainable solutions to improve
the performance and efficiency of materials and infrastructures, with a
reduced environmental impact and lower cost. Theoretical and practical
case studies address a variety of topics including circular economy and
sustainability, the impacts of climate change, durability, lifecycle,
auscultation and the monitoring of infrastructures.
This book
provides transport researchers and professionals with a better
understanding of the current and future trends in these innovative
fields, enabling them to put into practice new technologies and methods
of design and management, so that new solutions can become current
practices to truly improve modern transport systems.
