Asphalt pavement interlayer systems for structural performance enhancement and fatigue reduction
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)One of the possible alternatives to extend the service life of the pavement, reducing the maintenance costs of the pavement and possibly the thickness of the overlay, is the use of grids as a reinforcing interlayer of newly ... -
Accuracy assessment of the traffic safety module on two-lane rural roads
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)EU countries use a design methodology based on the traffic safety module, proposed by the German scientist R. Lamm. This methodology makes it possible to identify potentially high-risk sections of the road that can become ... -
Principles of creating a public transport network model for regions
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)This article analyzes one of the steps of the transportation system model - network modeling. The network model consists of: zoning of the considered region, selection of network connections and routes of public transport ... -
Comparison of the performance of flexible and roller-compacted concrete pavement structures
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Slip-form concrete (Joint plain concrete pavement) has number of years of good performance experience. As experience showed such technology is cost efficient only for high capacity roads, where very strict requirements for ... -
The design of additional public transport services to increase the resilience of road networks
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Some events (as, for instance, a bridge collapse, an underpass closure or a road maintenance intervention) may generate the total or partial unavailability of some elements of urban road networks. Hence, some users have ... -
Bus network characteristics for promoting sustainable urban mobility systems
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The present study deals with the systematic analysis of the bus network characteristics in many Italian cities and towns, characterized by a supply of public transport services mainly based on buses. The aim of the analysis ... -
BIM for railway infrastructure: the case study of the Ogliastro–Sapri High-Speed rail
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The Infrastructure-BIM is constantly growing in all the main European countries. The focus of this research is the digital twin creation of the Ogliastro-Sapri High-Speed rail in Italy. The entire project was carried out ... -
An assessment of self-driving vehicles: road maintenance and infrastructure needs
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)In the coming years, on the roads of the European Union countries, we will increasingly see self-driving vehicles (SDV), which will face considerable challenges on the roads. At first, SDVs will aim to adapt to the existing ... -
Environmentally optimized foundation of a railway bridge
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The production of materials, e.g., reinforced concrete, and the construction of structures consume large amounts of energy, which lead to a large emission of CO2. Regarding the resulting impact of construction processes ... -
The effect of ion-exchange stabilizer and cement amount on improved road subgrade soil laboratory specimens compressive strength and resistance to frost
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)especially in roads that are sensitive to moisture fluctuations and frost. To improve the performance of weak soils, usually treatment with cement or lime is applied. However, in the most cases, treatment only with cement ... -
