A method has been established to assess direct TWP emissions from vehicles. • Actual TWP D emission factors, size distributions , and determinants were specified. • Fine and ultrafine TWP D represent variable yet significant proportions of emissions. • The contribution of TWP D emissions to urban levels of (ultra)fine particles may be of concern. •...
The skid resistance of road pavements is dependent on mineralogical properties of the aggregates, as well as their ability to resist polishing over time. This polishing resistance is defined as the ability of aggregates to resist to the wear of tires. It is characterized in the laboratory by using a test called "PSV: polished stone value", allowing...

Unpaved roads are built on the basis of soil compaction. Therefore, the operation of vehicles on these roads results in dust emissions. As the number of passing vehicles increases, the soil surface gradually degrades under shearing caused by the tires. This enhances emissions and reduces visibility, increasing health and environmental related issue...

The surface properties (skid resistance, rolling noise and rolling resistance) of the road are closely related to the surface texture. Several scales of texture intervene in the interaction between a tire and the road pavement. However, the influence of each scale on these properties is little or not known. During lifetime, the texture of road evol...

Amongst all these resistive forces in a modern passenger car, depending on the driving conditions and tire specifications, about 20–30% of total fuel consumption is related to rolling resistance. The rolling resistance of the vehicle is still rather unknown and research should be conducted to be able to estimate it reliably and accurately. This acc...

Multiple objective optimization (MOO) techniques can be used to account for
multiple aspects in the design of road pavement maintenance and rehabilitation
(M&R) strategies. Contrary to the single-objective optimization problems where a
single solution is optimal, the solution of MOO problems is a set of non-dominated
solutions. This set of optimal...
Skid resistance is essential for road user safety and depends directly on the texture of the pavement. This texture is related to the surface texture of the aggregates. During its lifetime, the texture of the pavement evolves under the wear induced by road traffic. This phenomenon is called polishing. This paper presents a multiscale method based o...
