PAVEMENT conservation policies

ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TOOLS

to reduce pollutant gas emissions from road transport

Pavements with good surface evenness

REDUCE VEHICLE EMISSIONS

and noise pollution from road traffic

A TOOL FOR CLIMATE NEUTRALITY ON ROADS

Evaluation of the actual impact of pavement on fuel consumption and related emissions

EMIPAV will develop an actual measurement procedure on vehicles in terms of fuel consumption and related emissions to offer concrete proposals to pursue climate neutrality on road infrastructures. It is based on already existing previous studies to establish an efficient measurement process and following analysis to draw concrete conclusions applicable to the Spanish roads and car pool.

PRELIMINARY STUDY

MEASUREMENT

ANALYSIS

PROPOSALS

DISCOVER HOW EMIPAV WILL CONTRIBUTE TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES TO SUPPORT CLIMATE NEUTRALITY

starting from actual impact analysis of pavements on fuel consumption

Fuel consumption (and, by extension, emissions) is closely related to the characteristics of pavements where vehicles circulate. EMIPAV will offer the possibility to draw concrete and reliable conclusions applicable to Spanish roads and car pool to apply effective measures and policies to combat climate change.

Words from the COORDINATORS

EMIPAV will offer the possibility to draw irrefutable conclusions on the impact of pavement conditions on CO2 emissions and will prove that road conservation policies are the most efficient tool to combat climate change in the sector of road transport and infrastructures.
