Abstract

The digitalization of the road transport sector necessitates the exploration of new sensing technologies that are cost-effective, high-performing, and durable. Traditional sensing systems suffer from limitations, including incompatibility with asphalt mixtures and low durability. To address these challenges, the development of self-sensing asphalt pavements has emerged as a promising solution. These pavements are composed of stimuli-responsive materials capable of exhibiting changes in their electrical properties in response to external stimuli such as strain, damage, temperature, and humidity. Self-sensing asphalt pavements have numerous applications, including in relation to structural health monitoring (SHM), traffic monitoring, Digital Twins (DT), and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication (V2I) tools. This paper serves as a foundation for the advancement of self-sensing asphalt pavements by providing a comprehensive review of the underlying principles, the composition of asphalt-based self-sensing materials, laboratory assessment techniques, and the full-scale implementation of this innovative technology.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-19:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 32.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 32 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.25.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/81750/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of
