abstract = {In response to the important environmental impacts produced by the road transport network
during all its life cycle stages, a set of measurements to include sustainable principles have
been identified between 1997–2021, analysed and mapped by applying SciMAT and VOSviewer.
The results have shown the predominance of issues which analyse the life cycle assessment of road
infrastructures in its both environmental and economic dimension as a way to mitigate their effects
on climate change, including the reduction of resources and energy consumption, or of energy consumption
and greenhouse gases emissions during the construction and operation stages, respectively.
However, the incorporation of the social life cycle assessment dimension, their adaptation to climate
change, and the use of smart roads are still in an early stage. Therefore, efforts to include these issues
are necessary to address their design according to the resilience concept and ensuring a cleaner and
more competitive and climate-neutral Europe.},
