Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Efficient transport cannot exist without resilient infrastructure. Going further, sustainable transport cannot exist without sustainable infrastructure. Some solutions in design and construction of infrastructure allow reducing adverse effects of transport on environment. Simultaneously, infrastructure should be durable and recyclable. This Special Issue aims to collect solutions which contribute to transport infrastructure being more durable and less inconvenient for the environment. The topics of papers can include the following issues:
- Reducing the amount of new materials and energy necessary to build new transport infrastructure;
- Recycling and rebuilding of old distressed transport infrastructure;
- Usage of waste materials for infrastructural object construction;
- Structural and material solutions which allow reducing noise and air pollution;
- Solutions to reduce wear of infrastructure caused by vehicles and climatic conditions;
- Planning of infrastructure with regard to reducing the adverse effects of transport on the environment;
- Adaptation of transport infrastructure to climatic changes.
