The 1st International Online Conference on Infrastructures (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783036549637)

Roads are essential for sustainability, the development of resilient transportation networks being one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for the UN's 2030 Agenda.

There is a need for new visions to improve the efficiency and resilience of infrastructures, prioritizing investments and considering several aspects that can be simplified in KPIs such as in the acronym RAMSSHE P, which stands for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety, Security, Health, Environment, Economics, and Politics. Topics related to toad sustainability include:

Predictive maintenance to infer the condition rating (CR) to forecast asset deterioration during the whole lifecycle of the infrastructure;

The need for a focus on Sustainability, fostering recycling and reuse of materials;

Need for improving circularity through the large valorization potential of construction and demolition (C&D) waste;

Fostering digital transition in infrastructure management through BIM as an information model that represents the physical and attribute elements of construction;

Exploring information models for high-value applications from the design, all the way to the final demolition.
