Abstract. The emergence of a large number of modern high-speed cars with improved dynamic characteristics and an increase in the share of cars, especially large load capacity, have significantly accelerated the destruction of asphalt roads. Plastic deformations, tracks and cracks are more and more often observed on asphalt concrete pavements of roads, their wear is accelerated. As a result, the transport and operational condition of roads deteriorates, the speed of traffic decreases, the cost of road transport increases, and increasing costs are required for road repairs. Thus, the conditions of traction of the wheels of the car with the road surface are influenced by the service life of the coating, traffic intensity, the amount of harmful emissions of industrial enterprises and climatic factors. At the same time uneven change of conditions of coupling in cross and longitudinal profiles of the highway comes to light. Analyzing the natural and climatic factors, we can establish that different weather conditions have different effects on the condition of the road surface. In summer, the condition of the surface is dry and clean, so the driving conditions are safe. Taking into account all the factors that lead to the destruction of the coating with the formation of residual deformations and irreversible changes, requires the study of wear of the coating surface. he wear of the coating largely depends on the friction force in the area of contact of the tire with the surface of the coating, the type of tires and the pressure in the tires. But the random nature of changes in the intensity and composition of traffic, seasons, temperature, humidity, rainfall affects the amount of wear over a period of operation of the road surface. The presence of water or solutions in the pores of the coating leads to the separation of mineral particles from the layer under the action of impact force from the wheels of vehicles. It is experimentally established that the wear of asphalt concrete in the dry and wet state increases with increasing temperature. One of the main types of damage to road surfaces is their premature wear under the influence of vehicle wheels, in combination with changing weather conditions. Analyzing the natural and climatic factors, we can establish that different weather conditions have different effects on the condition of the road surface. The article considers the influence of temperature, humidity and the presence of solutions of chloride anti-icing materials on the process of abrasion of asphalt pavement in the autumn-winter period. Occurrence of big differences of temperature and humidity accelerates processes of aging of materials from which layers are made, influencing their durability and wear resistance.

Abstract A significant increase in traffic intensity and increased axle loads of vehicles on the roads led to the fact that asphalt concrete is not able to provide the required durability of road surfaces. The durability of asphalt concrete pavements is directly related to the quality of the materials used, primarily bitumen. Bitumen is most susceptible to changes under the influence of traffic loads and weather conditions. At the same time, bitumen largely determines the condition of the road surface. The behavior of bitumen can be changed by modifying it with additives. The novelty of bitumen modification lies in the fact that the addition of polymer to bitumen makes it possible to obtain a road surface that is resistant to cracking at low temperatures and to provide fatigue strength at high temperatures. Rutting resistance is also achieved. An important role in the choice of the modifier is played by economic issues related to the rise in the cost of coating, as well as the need to use additional equipment, the stability of the modified binder during storage and transportation, etc. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as a modifier for asphalt concrete mixtures. During the experiment, a significant improvement in the main indicators of asphalt concrete mixtures was revealed, as well as the maximum permissible deviations for the amount of binder in the asphalt concrete mixture and for the main indicators were observed. Moreover, the most important thing that has been achieved is a significant increase in rutting resistance by rolling a loaded wheel.

Domestic methods of designing and calculating non-rigid pavements were modified in parallel with changes in the load-carrying capacity of vehicles and an increase in the average traffic intensity of cars. With the increase in the level of costs for the construction and repair of road clothes, the level of responsibility for design has increased. However, more often at the operational stage, early defects of asphalt-concrete layers are detected and premature reduction of the bearing capacity of the structure as a whole. This only indicates that the prediction of the service life in the design of traditional methods is not reliable. The reasons for this may be several: erroneous determination of the number of cycles of the annual loading of the structure, a distorted or ineffective consideration of the climatic conditions of operation of the road-building materials of the layers, an inaccurate technique for determining the maximum permissible and emerging deformations, and also accumulating them during operation. As a result, the issues of construction of road clothes, requirements for them and the design of highways in general are being revised. Obviously, the traditional method of calculation, as a minimum, can not be considered universal. The authors presented a new approach to calculating the strength of non-rigid pavements by the criterion of accumulation of fatigue damages of asphalt-concrete layers, which can provide reliable prediction of the pavement life cycle, because it is based on the multifactorial influence of external environmental impact. Modeling such a multifactor process as the life cycle of a design is a complex computational task. Active integration of computer technologies into modern life and construction processes allows solving this task with the help of a computer, by developing application programs. At the department of «Highways» DSTU developed a software package Pavement Life Cycle, able to make calculations based on a new criterion for calculating non-rigid road clothes. The article is part of the dissertation research of the second author.

There is an important effect on road safety with no lighting facilities near the wild road. With the piezoelectric materials embedded in the asphalt concrete as the smart aggregates, the piezoelectric asphalt concrete transforms the vibrational energy of road surface into electrical energy, to supply the road lighting facilities or be stored up. In this study, the electrical energy of piezoelectric-embedded asphalt mixture by using UTM and wheel tester. The results show that PMnS-PZN-PZT ceramic doped with 0.45wt% Fe2O3 (4mm×8pieces) be embedded in the AC-10 asphalt concrete which can obtain well road performance and micropower electrical energy.

Abstract When transport is analysed for its safe delivery the focus is mainly on assessing the safety of roads and the risk of undesired events. These include road accidents, an occurrence which is relatively rare and random. Randomness means that accidents depend on several factors which are partly deterministic and partly. The authors conducted an assessment of how weather conditions affect the risk of an accident due to the factor’s significant contribution to road accidents. This case involves a combination of two sources of hazard: external conditions in the form of the weather which are beyond the driver’s control and anthropotechnical factors that address vehicle condition and driver behaviour controlled by the driver.

Highways are the most important component of country's economic development. They are a complex of engineering structures that are subject to various kinds of deformations during operation. The causes of premature defects are outdated technologies, poor quality materials, high traffic loads, and weather conditions. On average, after 2–3 years of the new road operation, pits, overflows, potholes, cracks, rutting occur on asphalt concrete pavement, its presence worsens the traffic conditions on the road and violates the unimpeded passage of cars. To extend the life cycle of a transport object, there are preventive measures that prevent the destruction of road surfaces. Such activities include regular maintenance and repair work. One of the effective measures is the use of road impregnation materials (RIM). Road-impregnation materials are used in case of need to prevent aging of the organic binder in the composition of asphalt concrete in the coating, as well as to reduce the impact of external factors. In this article, the influence of the basis of the impregnating material of two manufacturers on the indicators of the properties of asphalt concrete of various degrees of destruction is investigated. Among the considered impregnating compositions, solvent-based road impregnation materials proved to be the most effective. It has been established that the abrasive effect on samples of asphalt concrete significantly reduces the effectiveness of impregnating materials, especially based on bitumen emulsion.
