| Abstract | Climate change and extreme weather events present a fundamental challenge to pavement engineering and planning practice, given that transportation infrastructure has traditionally been planned and designed using historical climate data under the implicit assumption that climate is stationary and future conditions will resemble past ones. Transportation professionals should consider future risks scenarios in road design, material selection and system operations. This will be challenging given the inherent uncertainties in any climate projections. However, changes might be needed since transportation professionals are expected to deliver cost-effective and climate-resilient transportation infrastructure. The material selection plays an important role in the durability of flexible roads; therefore, it is important to consider the whole road design life cycle in terms of climate change and extreme weather events impact on asphalt selection as well as to consider different traffic speeds. This led to the development of the NRC Climate Adaptation and Asphalt Selection Tool (CAAST). |
