“…In areas with increasing extreme temperatures, upgrading binder grade or increasing layer thickness in pavement design may be desirable [82,87]. In addition, where gaps between daily/monthly/seasonal high and low temperature increases, the choice of binder needs to be able to cover all extremes [88].…”

Flexible pavements and climate are interactive. Pavements are climate sensitive infrastructure, where climate can impact their deterioration rate, subsequent maintenance, and life-cycle costs. Meanwhile, climate mitigation measures are urgently needed to reduce the environmental impacts of pavements and related transportation on the macroclimate and microclimate. Current pavement design and life cycle management practices may need to be modified to adapt to changing climates and to reduce environmental impacts. This paper reports an extensive literature search on qualitative and quantitative pavement research related to climate change in recent years. The topics cover climate stressors, sensitivity of pavement performance to climatic factors, impacts of climate change on pavement systems, and, most importantly, discussions of climate change adaptation, mitigation, and their interactions. This paper is useful for those who aim to understand or research the climate resilience of flexible pavements.

“…Surprisingly in central Europe, the impact of climate change was judged as negligible. Also, for Germany and Austria, adaptation strategies as a consequence of climate change were not a necessity (Wistuba and Walther 2013). In freezing zones, road transport relies on the frozen road during the winter season.…”

For the past few decades, researchers all over the world have agreed that the service life of civil infrastructure is significantly affected by climate change. Pavement is one of these significant infrastructures that can be easily affected by climate change. However, it is well known that predicting climate change is highly complex and dynamic. Hence, a review has been done on available climate change models and the uncertainties involved in climate change prediction. This review addresses various important questions such as (1) What is climate change? (2) How to use climate change models? (3) Uncertainties involved in using climate change models. (4) How does climate change impacts the pavement infrastructure? (5) What are the adaptation and mitigation strategies available? and (6) How do economic costs and emissions change due to climate change? This review is useful to understand climate change and its implications on pavement infrastructure.

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of climate on the performance of bituminous pavements with two different methods, and then to examine their impact on actual design scenarios. Three climate cases were selected for the comparisons involving the effect of temperature: one in France (Bordeaux) and two in the United States (Seattle and Phoenix). The case of an experimental site in Québec was also used for comparisons concerning consideration for seasonal variations in ground bearing capacity. The analyses used two mechanistic-empirical approaches: the French method (NF P98-086 standard, LCPC-SETRA 1994 handbook, and the Alizé-LCPC software package) and the US method (NCHRP 2004 guide, AASHTO 2015 manual of practice, and the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design software package). The results of the study highlight the importance, for design purposes, of the empirical fatigue equations as a function of temperature. For the site studied in France, the design results in terms of AC base layer thicknesses indicate that both methods show a similar trend with an increase in temperature. For the site in Québec, which is submitted to severe freeze/thaw cycles, the results show that taking temperature and moisture into account for unbound materials leads to a prediction of more severe permanent deformation.
