For this reason, they play a vital role in national growth production. Although in the world its length is 16.3 mil. Km, depending on each country, the need for new construction and maintenance is always a must. On the other hand, global changes pressure all sectors to operate within the sustainability framework, where the asphalt industry is not exempt, and decision-makers are issuing day-to-day regulations to protect the atmosphere and human health and relief for this reason. Under these conditions, the sections are searching for new techniques and materials, promoting conservation, indicating that by balancing between technical improvements and cost-effective environmental and human health care solutions. The value of the use of any "right," product, production, techniques, facility, the fund is becoming more and more important to each stakeholder in this regard. First of all, the new technological advances in road pavements have been addressed in this study. Such advances were then analyzed in the sense of the approach to sustainability.}, number={17}, publisher={Osman SAĞDIÇ}
