Creating Green Roadways: Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation

Product Information

It no longer took days to visit relatives in the next town over, and the concept of distance changed significantly. S. National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 and its influence on how transportation projects address potential impacts. The text is elaborated with an extensive photo collection and case studies that demonstrate how to apply the principles proposed in the book.

A self-developed piece of accelerated polishing equipment, the Harbin advanced polishing machine (HAPM), was employed to simulate the wearing process between vehicle tires and pavement surfaces, and the TPWW was collected to conduct morphological, physical, and chemical characterisations.

In Creating Green Roadways, James and Matthew Sipes demonstrate that roads don’t have to be the enemy of sustainability: they can be designed to minimally impact the environment while improving quality of life. Through case studies and photos from around the country, "Creating Green Roads" provides an examination of all aspects of green roads, from transportation policy to the basics of road design, public involvement, road ecology, and the economics of sustainable roads.The results indicate the following: seashell powder is a coarse, porous, and angular CaCO 3 bio-material; seashell powder and the asphalt binder represent a stable physical mixture of modified properties; seashell powder improves the consistency, hardness, and high-temperature performance of the asphalt binder but weakens the low-temperature performance of it; seashell powder enhances the elasticity, recovery performance, and permanent deformation resistance of asphalt binders and improves high-temperature rheological properties; finally, seashell powder has a minimal effect on the crack resistance of asphalt binders at very low temperatures. The results demonstrated that the likelihood of an initiative reducing environmental impacts was approximately 25% on average, meaning that one in four companies was able to successfully implement initiatives. The utilization of waste materials in cement-stabilized materials (CSMs) is an important way to promote the sustainable development of road engineering construction and solve the environmental problems caused by the accumulation of waste materials. From the start, the Interstate Highway System was hailed as the greatest public works project in history.

Roads and highways have such an impact on our communities that we need to start thinking of them in terms of quality of life. A road can not only meet transportation needs, but it can also be a community asset that is as much a part of what defines a place as parks, houses, trails, and sidewalks.This study contributes to making explicit relationships between initiatives and impact reductions possible. The system was constructed as part of the nation's strategic homeland defense, illustrating the important role of transportation in emergency mitigation, defense, and recovery. From analyzing the above sample indicators, sustainability can be improved by using three methods: materials, technology, and management. Sustainable development objectives have been applied to infrastructure in recent years, after being widely used for green buildings.
