The world's transport network has developed over thousands of years; emerging from the need of allowing more comfortable trips to roman soldiers to the modern smooth roads enabling modern vehicles to travel at high speed and to allow heavy airplanes to take off and land safely. However, in the last two decades the world is changing very fast in terms of population growth, mobility and business trades creating greater traffic volumes and demand for minimal disruption to users, but also challenges, such as climate change and more extreme weather events. At the same time, technology development to allow a more sustainable transport sector continue apace. It is within this environment and in close consultation with key stakeholders, that this consortium developed the vision to achieve the paradigm shift to Sustainable Multifunctional Automated and Resilient Transport Infrastructures. SMARTI ETN is a training-through-research programme that empowered Europe by forming a new generation of multi-disciplinary professionals able to conceive the future of transport infrastructures and this Special Issue is a collection of some of the scientific work carried out within this context. Enjoy the read.

An increasing number of government agencies, academic institutes, and industrial organizations are embracing the principles of sustainability in managing their activities. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an approach developed to provide decision support regarding the environmental impact of industrial processes and products. LCA is a field with ongoing research, development and improvement and is being implemented world-wide, particularly in the areas of pavement, roadways, and bridges. The Proceedings of Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment contain contributions to the International Symposium on Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2024 (Arlington, VA, USA, June 6-8, 2024) covering research and practical issues related to pavement, roadway and bridge LCA, including data and tools, asset management, materials, environmental product declarations, structure types, procurement, planning, vehicle interaction, and construction. Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment Proceedings will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and policy-makers in academia, industry, and government who are interested in the sustainability of pavements, roadways, and bridges.
