"Sustainability" in the synthesis refers to promoting environmentally friendly practices that also provide technical and economic benefits. The seven sustainability impact factor areas evaluated are virgin material usage, alternative material usage, program for pavement in-service monitoring and management, noise, air quality/emissions, water quality, and energy usage and their relationship to typical pavement preservation and maintenance practices.
