“…Moreover, in the developed framework, the carbon price was incorporated, which will assess the managerial activities to compensate for the harmful impact due to pavement projects. The proposed framework is differentiated from the previous frameworks in the literature [108,134,141,142] with respect to the inclusion of carbon price and assessing the overall impact of LCCA and LCA to enhance economic, social, and environmental factors. In the frameworks proposed previously, the impact of pavement were evaluated along with LCC but there was a lack of consideration of environmental cost such as carbon price.…”

Development of the pavement network systems, which is inevitable due to the rapid economic growth, has increasingly become a topic of significant concern because of the severe environmental impacts of road expansion. For achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs), the policies and actions towards the pavements’ life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) must be carefully assessed. Consequently, the purpose of this review is to present an overview of LCA and LCCA used in pavement engineering and management. Through the quality control of PRISMA, fifty-five most relevant documents were extracted for a thorough investigation. The state of the art review reveals that a limited number of the papers considered environmental impacts of the pavements. Consequently, to assess the environmental impact cost, a conceptual framework was developed to better consider the LCA and LCCA on various aspects of the pavement projects including the sustainability aspects. Besides, a case study was given to validate the literature review towards proposing a novel framework for the incorporation of environmental impact cost.

“…Diante do cenário crescente de investimentos no transporte ferroviário, conforme o Gráfico 01, alinhada à demonstração clara do Governo Federal brasileiro em se alinhar à política de investimento com uso de títulos verdes (Green Bonds) conforme descrito por Angarten, Silva e Silva (2020), é possível notar que a temática que trata dos impactos ambientais tende a se tornar foco das discussões no setor de infraestrutura durante os próximos anos. Com isso em vista, e tendo como referência o alinhamento existente entre a ACV e os impactos ambientais (NASCIMENTO et. al., 2020), o presente estudo se propõe a realizar, no primeiro momento, uma revisão bibliométrica dos estudos relacionados entre o transporte ferroviário e ACV.…”

“…According to their natures, road pavement types can be divided into flexible pavement (Asphalt Concrete Pavement) and rigid pavement. Among two of them, the use of flexible pavement is more widespread [3]. Therefore, this study focuses on the maintenance of flexible pavement as the main research objective.…”

An Integrated Optimization Model for Life Cycle Pavement Maintenance Budgeting Problems

Driven by the demand to preserve the existing road pavement condition, the issue of selecting maintenance action at the appropriate time under budget limitation has attracted great attention from highway agencies. This study focuses on the strategy of how to manage pavement maintenance budget effectively on road network level based on life cycle cost analysis. The framework of resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is implemented to establish a maintenance action decision-making mechanism for allocating pavement maintenance budgets on the planning and controlling phases. In the RCPSP environment, a two-stage optimization model based on constraint programming techniques is developed to meet two different management goals such as 1. annual budget evaluation from planning points of view, and 2. actual budget adjustment from controlling points f view, by considering the factor of road usability. Model-I, the life cycle lifespan evaluation model solves the problem of annual budget evaluation to satisfy the maintenance requirements of all road sections. The optimal maintenance plan then can be made to maintain road performance and evaluate annual budget requirement for future years to maximize total maintenance benefits, in terms of the overall maximum pavement lifespan. Based on the suggested results of budget evaluation from Model-I, Model-II, the actual budget adjustment model deals with the actual budget allocation problem of how to keep up the original maintenance budget plan when the actual budget is always awarded insufficiently each year. Finally, the proposed two-stage integrated models provide an optimal maintenance strategy to respond to actual maintenance status and pavement deterioration as feedbacks to the actual budget adjustment model, and recursively make pavement maintenance strategy closer to actual conditions by budget adjustment yearly.
