“…The drainage is produced by the voids, i.e., the surface porosity, which are the darkest portions of the image. This drainage time is directly proportional to the porosity and inversely proportional to the mean gray level, which becomes higher as porosity decreases due to clogging [17]. The presumption here is that the image captures a representative area, and that the sediment leading to clogging creates enough of a change in pore reflectance to significantly change the histogram parameters.…”

“…SIR, which is inversely proportional to the clogging rate, is a largely surface phenomenon, which results from qualities within the top 0.25 m of the pavement [17]. Several methods have been used over the years to determine SIR.…”

Cell phone images of pervious pavement surfaces were used to explore relationships between surface infiltration rates (SIR) measured using the ASTM C1701 standard test and using a simple falling head test. A fiber-reinforced porous asphalt surface and a highly permeable material comprised of stone, rubber and a polymer binder (Porous Pave) were tested. Images taken with a high-resolution cellphone camera were acquired as JPEG files and converted to gray scale images in Matlab ® for analysis. The distribution of gray levels was compared to the surface infiltration rates obtained for both pavements with attention given to the mean of the distribution. Investigation into the relationships between mean SIR and parameters determined from the gray level distribution produced in the image analysis revealed that mean SIR measured in both pavements were proportional to the inverse of the mean of the distribution. The relationships produced a coefficient of determination over 85% using both the ASTM and the falling head test in the porous asphalt surface. SIR measurements determined with the ASTM method were highly correlated with the inverse mean of the distribution of gray levels in the Porous Pave material as well, producing coefficients of determination of over 90% and Kendall's tau-b of roughly 70% for nonparametric data.

“…Previous studies, [13], highlighted the importance of analyzing different zones within a car park bay in order to obtain a more comprehensive view of real infiltration behavior in a car park with porous surfaces. The static and dynamic loads produced by the vehicle wheels can produce permanent deformations in the pervious surface, which could affect both porosity and permeability.…”

Porous surfaces have been used all over the world in source control techniques to minimize flooding problems in car parks. Several studies highlighted the reduction in the infiltration capacity of porous mixture surfaces after several years of use. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a new methodology to quantify this reduction and to identify the hypothetical differences in permeability between zones within the same car park bay due to the influence of static loads in the parked vehicles. With this aim, nine different zones were selected in order to check this hypothesis (four points under the wheels of a standard vehicle and five points between wheels). This article presents the infiltration capacity reduction results, using the LCS permeameter, of Polymer-Modified Porous Concrete (9 bays) and Porous Asphalt (9 bays) surfaces in the University of Cantabria Campus parking area (Spain) 5 years after their construction. Statistical analysis methodology was proposed for assessing the results. Significant differences were observed in permeability and reduction in infiltration capacity in the case of porous concrete surfaces, while no differences were found for porous asphalt depending on the measurement zone.

An international literature review was undertaken to identify the most appropriate design for a pervious paving system. The literature review revealed that information contained in design guidelines is often unclear and occasionally conflicting and this can be confusing for designers and other stormwater professionals. This literature review was to form the basis of a design for a new research study on the benefits of using pervious pavements to promote street tree health has recently commenced at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. The review identified four typical pervious paving surfaces porous concrete porous asphalt, permeable inter locking concrete pavers, and concrete and plastic grid pavers. All four pavement surfaces were found to have high stormwater pollutant removal performance in a variety of conditions, with a wide range of designs. Maintenance procedures can have a significant impact on the rate of clogging of pervious pavements which can impact on the effective life span and there is conflicting and unreliable evidence to support the inclusion of a geofabric layer within pervious paving systems. This paper summarises the literature review findings and is intended as a practical resource for designers and researchers of pervious pavement systems.
