Description
Summary:Developed road infrastructure is a very significant factor which is influencing and conditioning the development of the economy and quality of transportation. Increasing demands for quality of road infrastructure lead to the construction of new roads. Moreover, the importance of keeping pavements in good condition increases proportionately with the increasing traffic. The construction of the road communications, their management and maintenance are material and energy consuming and the problem with the availability and exhaustion of resources is accretive. However, the development of road construction have to respect the protection of the environment, it have to be controlled and sustainable. Sustainable development ensures to meet subsistence for today's and future generations and respects the natural functions of ecosystems. The paper is focused on the analysis of the factors arising from the production of asphalt mixtures for road infrastructure by asphalt mixing plants and their subsequent impact on the environment.
