This Special Issue “Recent Advances and Future Trends in Pavement Engineering” was proposed and organized to present recent developments in the field of innovative pavement materials and engineering. The 12 articles and state-of-the-art reviews highlighted in this editorial are related to different aspects of pavement engineering, from recycled asphalt pavements to alkali-activated materials, from hot mix asphalt concrete to porous asphalt concrete, from interface bonding to modal analysis, and from destructive testing to non-destructive pavement monitoring by using fiber optics sensors. This Special Issue partly provides an overview of current innovative pavement engineering ideas that have the potential to be implemented in industry in the future, covering some recent developments.

History of engineering & technology --- laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) --- pavements --- vibration measurement --- noise floor --- modal analysis --- peat --- asphalt --- rheology --- drainage --- wet process --- rutting --- hot mix asphalt --- recycled asphalt --- RAP gradation --- ignition test --- FTIR --- ESEM --- transverse profile analysis --- trenching --- coring --- hot-mix asphalt --- flow number --- effective binder content --- air voids --- voids in mineral aggregates --- voids filled with asphalt --- asphalt content --- fiber optics sensors (FOS) --- fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors --- falling weight deflectometer (FWD) --- permeable pavements --- porous asphalt concrete --- polymeric transparent binder --- synthetic aggregates --- urban pavements --- urban runoff --- hot mix asphalt dynamic modulus --- principal component analysis --- linear regression modeling --- artificial neural network --- receiver operating characteristic --- optimization --- complex modulus --- fatigue cracking --- permanent deformation --- thermal cracking resistance --- paving blocks --- alkali-activated materials --- waste powders --- recycled materials --- moisture damage --- surface free energy components --- cohesion --- binder–aggregate adhesion --- asphalt pavement --- interface bonding --- shear reaction modulus --- numerical analysis --- falling weight deflectometer --- FOS --- FBG

The depletion of natural energy resources provides evidential adverse impacts on world economy functionality. The strong requirement of a sustainable energy supply has escalated intensive research and the discovery of cleaner energy sources, as well as efficient energy management practices. In the context of a circular economy, this research not only targets the optimisation of resources utilisation at different stages but also emphasises the eco-design of products to extend production life spans. Based on this concept, this book discusses the roles of process integration approaches, renewable energy sources utilisation and design modifications in addressing the process energy and exergy efficiency improvement. The primary focus is to enhance the economic and environmental performance through process analysis, modelling and optimisation. The articles mainly show the contribution of each aspect: (a) design and numerical study for innovative energy-efficient technologies, (b) process integration—heat and power, (c) process energy efficiency or emission analysis, and (d) optimisation of renewable energy resources’ supply chain. The articles are based on the latest contribution of this journal’s Special Issues in the 21st conference entitled “Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction (PRES)”. This book is complemented with an editorial review to highlight the broader state-of-the-art development.
