Bijleveld, F. Publication year 2017 Abstract The Province of Zuid-Holland encourages the development of innovations to make the provincial road network more energy efficient. This is one way the province can contribute to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in accordance with the Dutch energy agreement. To this end, the Province of Zuid-Holland, Strukton Civiel and TNO have conducted joint research on road surfacing that reduces rolling resistance and hence reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This document sets out the objective of the research, as well as the methods used and the research results (both in the laboratory and the field). It also looks ahead at the impact the results could have and how the construction of such energy-saving road surfacing could best be put out to tender by road authorities Subject 2015 Fluid & Solid MechanicsSR - Structural ReliabilityTS - Technical SciencesBuildings and InfrastructuresArchitecture and Building2015 UrbanisationAsphaltRoad constructionRolling resistanceFuel reductionCO2 reduction To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:c91e1bef-5159-403d-9dde-992bb8d78ad1 TNO identifier 779307 Publisher TNO Document type other Files PDF mookhoek-2017-making.pdf
