From page 10... ... Future Research Needs The following research needs were identified in this chapter: • There is a need for pavement preservation and maintenance-specific research to furnish agency pavement maintenance engineers with the fundamental data on the relative environmental sustainability of common treatments. • There is a need to develop a pavement preservation and maintenance-specific life-cycle assessment and cost analysis method that includes values for factors such as carbon sequestration, resource renewability, and other salient elements of environmental sustainability to furnish a rational approach to treatment selection.

From page 11... ... Relevant future research could help establish appropriate noise standards for construction and maintenance operations, and provide a tool for using noise considerations as part of treatment selection. As noted by the high number of respondents choosing the "no opinion" or "don't know" categories, it could be suggested that education and training be provided in this environmental sustainability impact factor area for maintenance personnel.
