ABSTRACT
The Post-Modern Pavement (PMP) is a new concept in pavement design, construction, utility and recycling. It is conceptualised to address current and future challenges for various pavement types, such as asphalt, concrete and concrete block. The PMP is a novel method for categorising and evaluating pavements that serves as an interface between structural/environmental design, social requirements and human physiology in different service conditions. In this paper, the proposal of this category is premised upon a state-of-the-art study of pavement engineering history. The theories and concepts of PMP are presented, and the principles of PMP design and the challenges ahead are discussed. Results show that PMP is a multi-role pavement system that connects elements of transportation infrastructure assets into the ecosystem and public health.
