...Asphalt roads: more than just energy efficient
As well as being energy efficient for vehicles driving on them, asphalt roads have many other sustainability benefits and these are summarized on the Sustainability page...
...Energy efficiency and rolling resistance
The lower the rolling resistance of a road pavement, the more energy efficient it is for vehicles. However, a low rolling resistance typically means that friction between the...
... MPD is needed. But, as MPD goes up, rolling resistance generally increases and it takes more energy to drive on the road.
Smooth road surfaces typically generate less noise when vehicles drive on...
