| 摘要： | As transportation demands continue to evolve, the need for road infrastructure built to stand the test of time has never been greater. How roads are used, and the conditions they are subjected to, will undoubtedly be different one hundred years from now, but this long-term horizon is both a realistic and necessary approach. To ensure infrastructure resilience and resource efficiency, highway design must consider factors such as climate change and evolving vehicle types and usage patterns. We can expect more volatile weather conditions including hotter summers and wetter winters, heavier vehicles, and faster wear as electric vehicles - which are around 30% heavier than their combustion counterparts - are widely adopted. The introduction of autonomous vehicles could see travel patterns evolve with more channelised loading. Durability is key to future proofing. So, design decisions need to be taken with a longer-term view to deliver smarter, higher quality specifications with increased lifespans. |
