This study investigates properties of mastics produced with 70/100 neat bitumen, three
mineral fillers (granite, quartz-granite, and diorite), and a lime-based active filler at filler-
to-bitumen (F/B) ratios of 40%, 50%, ...
Buildings represent approximately 40% of the total energy consumption. Net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) have lower energy demands than conventional buildings due to improved thermal insulation combined with other passive ...
Capsule-based self-healing technologies offer a promising solution to extend pavement service life without requiring external activation. The effect of the capsule content on the mechanical behaviour of self-healing asphalt ...

The European Union’s climate strategy, anchored by the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, targets a 90% reduction in transport related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Freight ...
Nowadays, cities appear to be the best place to live, attracting more and more people and activities. However, not only does this movement represent a threat to the environment but also provides challenges and opportunities ...
Despite the increasing digitalization of logistics, further development is required to advance comprehensive approaches for monitoring and assessing rail service performance across end-to-end journeys. Recent advancements ...
In most urban areas, mobility is predominantly reliant on automobiles, leading to significant negative environmental impacts, such as noise pollution, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the objectives of ...
The European Union’s climate strategy, anchored by the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, targets a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Freight ...
The rise of shared e-scooters has transformed urban mobility, offering a flexible and accessible option for short-distance travel. This study explores the decision-making processes of shared e-scooter users for short leisure ...
Only 8% of the European Union residents use a bicycle to commute, being the Netherlands being the country with the biggest representativeness in bicycle use for everyday activities. The advent of e-bikes brought more people ...
In 2020, only 0.9% of buses running in European Union countries were electric, with 93.5% still being diesel-powered. The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy set out by the European Commission targets a reduction of ...
Introduction: Active modes of transport can be defined as means of travel and transport at reduced speed, which take up little space on public roads and do not emit air pollutants or noise, being seen as an economic, social, ...
