TRR: Stiffer roadways could cut GHG emissions, improve truck fuel efficiency

Different choices in the budget assigned to road preservation and repair should be considered to find the optimal contribution of the road network to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation and to meet targets set in the Paris Agreement on climate change.

"Potential Contribution of Deflection-Induced Fuel Consumption to U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions," by Hassam Azarijafari, Jeremy Gregory, and Randolph Kirchain, appears in the June 2020 issue of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board.

It has received extensive media coverage, including in Scientific American and MIT News.
