Abstract

Toole, Hallowell and Chinowsky (2013) define innovation as, “the act of introducing a significant improvement in a process, product, or system that is novel to the organization, may cause individuals to view things differently, and results in competitive advantage, increased value for the client or benefit to stockholders”. The road construction industry needs new applications from the view point of innovation and technology (Caerteling et al., 2009). Focus needs to be on enhancing road industry performance considering that road infrastructure is a substantial contributor to employment and gross domestic product (Caerteling et al., 2011). Based on limited literature available on application of innovative technologies in the road sector, typical examples reported are: solar roads, Smart highways in the Netherlands that glow in the dark, new road surface material, CFA (Continuous Flight Augur) piling, Moveable barrier system, use of recycled material and others. This paper presents an overview of innovation in the road construction sector, the driving factors behind adopting new techniques and materials; and the barriers it faces in their application.

道路领域的创新技术

Toole, Hallowell和Chinowsky(2013)将创新定义为“对组织来说是新颖的过程，产品或系统进行重大改进的行为，可能会导致个人以不同的方式看待事物，并导致竞争优势，为客户增加价值或为股东带来利益”。从创新和技术的角度来看，道路建设行业需要新的应用(Caerteling et al.， 2009)。考虑到道路基础设施是就业和国内生产总值的重要贡献者，重点需要放在提高道路行业绩效上(Caerteling et al.， 2011)。基于有限的关于创新技术在道路领域应用的文献，报道的典型例子有:太阳能道路、荷兰在黑暗中发光的智能公路、新型路面材料、CFA(连续飞行预测)打桩、可移动屏障系统、回收材料的使用等。本文概述了道路建设领域的创新，采用新技术和新材料背后的驱动因素;以及它在应用中面临的障碍。
