Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to introduce innovations and trends in the construction of flexible pavement layers, which are used abroad. The paper is focused on some surfaces, which help to reduce noise pollution from traffic, and binders, which are based on natural ingredients called bioasphalt. It provides an information summary of increasing share of reclaimed asphalt in bituminous mixtures and introduces possible procedures that could lead to an increase in pavement life.

Keywords:

low-noise pavements, reclaimed asphalt pavements, parallel drum, bioasphalt, vegecol, long life pavements
