Impact of Surface Temperature of Asphalt Mixture on the Generation and Composition of Tyre and Road Wear Particles (Trwp)

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how the surface temperature of asphalt mixtures affects the generation and composition of tyre and road wear particles.
• Analysis of the relationship between asphalt surface temperature and wear particle generation
• Review of existing literature on TRWP effects on the environment
• Comparison of findings from tyre manufacturers to road construction practices
• Higher surface temperatures correlate with increased generation of tyre and road wear particles.
• TRWP composition varies significantly based on the asphalt temperature.
• Current research in the road sector is limited, highlighting a need for further studies.
