The purpose of this book is presented to the practitioners, researchers and students as a comprehensive framework around the transport infrastructure for the following:
i. Transport infrastructure, their economic influence and the territorial transformation.
ii. The active mobility infrastructure, the design and the habitat influence in urban areas.
iii. The fundamentals and main approaches around road infrastructure and pavement management.
iv. The fundamentals and main approaches around road infrastructure, pavement design, assessment and management in road and airport pavement.

The transport infrastructure diversity presented in this book offers a valuable and representative point of view concerning its importance, considering the assessment aspects, management and especially the challenges in the field.
