Abstract

Many recent transportation-related strategy documents present roadmaps for how to deliver net zero through decarbonisation, digitalisation and environmental responsibility. This keynote lecture presents an overview of current strategies in the content of the UK highways and pavements highlighting the many challenges that we currently face and providing examples of current research initiatives that are tackling those challenges.
