Transportation infrastructure is essential to a nation's everyday life and economic activity. Accordingly, pavement design and engineering are imperative to ensure safe, comfortable, and efficient transportation of goods, services, and people across countries. Pavements should be designed to be adaptable to changing traffic inputs and environmental conditions and always strive to fulfill the requirements of the end-users, including safety, durability, comfort, efficiency, sustainability, and cost. This review highlights innovations in paving technologies with a focus on sustainability from a socio-technical perspective; the scope is meant to be comprehensive but not exhaustive. The discussion categorizes paving design and technology innovations into two high-level sections: 1) high-volume urban pavement innovations and 2) low-volume rural pavement innovations.
交通基础设施对一个国家的日常生活和经济活动至关重要。因此，路面设计与工程对于确保货物、服务以及人员在各国间安全、舒适且高效的运输而言势在必行。路面设计应具备适应不断变化的交通流量和环境条件的能力，并始终致力于满足终端用户的需求，包括安全性、耐久性、舒适性、效率、可持续性以及成本等方面。本综述着重介绍了从社会技术角度关注可持续性的路面技术创新；其范围力求全面但并非详尽无遗。讨论将路面设计与技术创新分为两个高级别部分：1）高流量城市路面创新和2）低流量农村路面创新。
