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

Product Information

This kind of approach is not unprecedented: the Base Realignment and Closure process has led to the closure of more than 350 military facilities since 1989. Seashell powder-modified asphalt was prepared with 5%, 10%, and 15% admixture using the high-speed shear method.

D. designs and produces innovative,useful green solutions that integrate into urban andsuburban environments to make cities more pleasant,environmentally sound and smarter places to live. How do we plan for the next generation of green roadways, and what do we have to do to make this work? The purpose of this study is to further improve the road performance and emission reduction effect of tourmaline-modified asphalt.It is a ribbon of asphalt, striping, and guard rails that allow automobiles to get from one point to another. 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. VISSIM and the surrogate safety assessment model (SSAM) were used to simulate the operational and safety performance of CFI.

The deteriorating ecological environment and the concept of sustainable development have highlighted the importance of waste reuse. Creating Green Roadways covers topics including transportation policy, the basics of green road design, including an examination of complete streets, public involvement, road ecology, and the economics of sustainable roads.

Although the National Environmental Policy Act has been around for years, we are just now starting to understand how it can lead to green, sustainable roadways. Graphene was used to enhance the performance of tourmaline-modified asphalt, and graphene/tourmaline-composite-modified asphalt was prepared. The footprint of the road can be minimized to prevent negative impacts on cultural and natural resources, and the design of the road can ensure that existing resources are protected.

For comparison, there were a total of 4,192 automobiles registered in the United States in 1900, and around 210,000 in 1911. In response to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, local road agencies in Taiwan urgently need to establish systematic and quantifiable sustainable roadway strategies. From the start, the Interstate Highway System was hailed as the greatest public works project in history.

The Sipes' insightful synopsis of current green roadways concepts, combined with an assemblage of inspiring photographs, compels us to work smarter.
