群居聚落多依賴交通網絡而生，用路人意識抬頭，對於路面平坦度和噪音要求趨於嚴苛，且面臨全球氣候變遷，溫度增加和雨量增強趨勢，公路鋪面需提升行車安全，採用更安全和更安靜之鋪面實有必要性，多孔性瀝青混凝土(Porous Asphalt Concrete, PAC)及石膠泥瀝青混凝土(Stone Mosts Asphalt, SMA)路面乃是值得考量選項。
傳統粒料乃是使用天然粒料，但天然資源逐漸缺乏中。另因應全球能源短缺，配合國家永續發展，使用鋼鐵廠轉爐煉鋼高溫製程產生的副產品-轉爐石(Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag, BOF)，為降低BOF之回脹性，透過和瀝青包裹後的添加改質劑，以降低轉爐石活性。
試驗結果顯示PAC因其多孔性，透水性及減噪效果佳，有效提昇行車抗滑能力，且雨天肇事嚴重度當量(EPDO)明顯降低，適合鋪設於高速公路上。同時SMA具有延長鋪面耐久性和抵抗荷重之功能，於重車較多路段使用SMA為值得考量選項。
另外改質轉爐石與天然粒料鋪面對PAC功能性並無明顯之差異，且依現況顯示改質轉爐石可有效降低粒料崩解跳料情形，增加其耐久性，惟仍需長期觀察後續績效。

Due to the global climate change in the increasing temperature and rainfall, traffic-safety improvement on pavement by using safer and less-noise making material is necessary. Porous Asphalt Concrete, PAC and Stone Mosts Asphalt, SMA are worth considering option for the pavement. Traditional aggregates are made from nature material which is however become fewer and fewer. In the response to the global energy shortage and to the sustainable national development, by-product, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) of converter steel production process under high temperature in steel plant is used.
The now detect experiment results showed that PAC by its porosity has great water permeability and noise reduction ability, and is able to significant reduce Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO), indicating that PAC is suitable pavement for highway. Whereas, SMA with the ability to extend the pavement durability.
However, a long-term observation on follow-up performance is required.
