This report presents an overview of the major aspects of tire-pavement interaction as they relate to highway noise, safety and economics. The many sources of sound in the highway environment are described and the perception and measurement of noise are discussed. The measurement of roadway friction and the impact of pavement texture on highway safety are described. Techniques for controlling sound from the highway environment are also discussed, including the use of noise walls and barriers and the management of pavement surface characteristics. The noise, safety characteristics and cost-effectiveness of traditional and newer concrete pavement materials and surface textures, including turf drag, longitudinal tining, exposed aggregate, porous concrete, diamond grinding and others, are described and documented through summaries of studies from around the world. Techniques for balancing noise, safety, economics and other factors in the selection of pavement surface type and texture are also reviewed.

This work presents the results of RILEM TC 237-SIB (Testing and characterization of sustainable innovative bituminous materials and systems). The papers have been selected for publication after a rigorous peer review process and will be an invaluable source to outline and clarify the main directions of present and future research and standardization for bituminous materials and pavements. The following topics are covered: - Characterization of binder-aggregate interaction - Innovative testing of bituminous binders, additives and modifiers - Durability and aging of asphalt pavements - Mixture design and compaction analysis - Environmentally sustainable materials and technologies - Advances in laboratory characterization of bituminous materials - Modeling of road materials and pavement performance prediction - Field measurement and in-situ characterization - Innovative materials for reinforcement and interlayer systems - Cracking and damage characterization of asphalt pavements - Recycling and re-use in road pavements This is the proceedings of the RILEM SIB2015 Symposium (Ancona, Italy, October 7-9, 2015).
