The 7th Chinese-European Workshop (CEW) on Functional Pavement, held in Birmingham, UK, from July 2 to 4, 2023, brought together a collection of insightful papers. This workshop, a part of the CEW series, focuses on field tests, laboratory test methods, and advanced analysis techniques, covering a wide range of topics such as analysis, material development, production, experimental characterization, design, and construction of pavements.

The book's main areas of coverage include:

Green pavements for a circular and low-carbon economy: This section explores the use of sustainable materials and technologies in pavement design to promote environmental sustainability and reduce carbon footprint.

Intelligent pavements for future and smart cities: This area focuses on the integration of intelligent systems, such as sensors, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, into pavements to enhance their performance, safety, and efficiency.

Durable pavements for long-life infrastructures: This section explores the development of pavement materials and construction techniques that can withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and long-term wear and tear, ensuring the longevity of road networks.

Safe pavements for user-friendly build environments: This section emphasizes the design of pavements that prioritize user safety, accessibility, and comfort, considering factors such as friction, noise, and visual aesthetics.

Advances in Functional Pavements aims to contribute to the establishment of a new generation of pavement design methodologies. These methodologies will be based on rational mechanics principles, advanced constitutive models, and advanced material characterization techniques. The book will be of immense interest to professionals, academics, and practitioners in pavement engineering and related disciplines. It will provide valuable insights and guidance for improving road pavement infrastructure and delivering better services to stakeholders.

The 7th CEW on Functional Pavement showcased the latest research and advancements in this field, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between Chinese and European experts. The workshop's success highlights the growing importance of functional pavements in addressing the challenges of modern transportation and infrastructure development.
