Abstract

Globally, road transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and it is one of the few energy-consuming sectors where emissions are increasing. Fuel consuming passenger cars have a significant impact on climate change. Measuring rolling resistance, the energy consumed and the amount of CO2 emitted represents the first step towards incorporating CO2 values in road asset management systems. The development of models for rolling resistance in road infrastructure asset management systems allows road administrations to forecast the amount of CO2 emitted by vehicle rolling resistance, in terms of pavement type and condition, over the complete road network. The aim of MIRIAM is to develop models for: 1. energy saving through reduced rolling resistance; 2. vehicle CO2 and rolling resistance sources; 3. transport infrastructure operation and management. This paper describes the work initiated in Europe and the USA concerning the reduction of CO2 emissions from road transport by reducing vehicle rolling resistance.
