Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the total amount of available road pavement is seeing its age ratio rapidly increase and due to various factors such as drastic climate change; it is encountering damage in forms and patterns not previously observed. As a result, road management agencies are collaborating with diverse research teams to find more efficient and systematic network management strategies. Their goal is to utilize precise predictions and designs to enable informed decision-making, promoting sustainable management.
In this Special Issue’s representative related studies, we request pavement performance prediction research based on long-term collected network-level performance data, Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM), real-world performance data, and Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) considerations for road pavement performance prediction.
This Special Issue, titled "Pavement Engineering: Systems, Rehabilitation, and Sustainable Strategies for Long-Term Management", will compile cutting-edge research and advancements in this field, leading to the more comprehensive development of road network management. As such, we request innovative research and paper reviews from researchers worldwide who work in this field. The proposed topics related to this Special Issue are as follows:
- Performance prediction studies based on the network level using performance survey data
- Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM) based on actual performance data;
- Pavement prediction studies based on Quality Control and Quality Assurance databases;
- Performance modeling of flexible (asphalt) and rigid (concrete) pavements;
- Material Mixed-Design and Field Performance Evaluation;
- Innovative pavement management strategies;
- Environmental effects of pavement performance and management;
- Carbon-mitigation road pavement techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
