Consortium for Asphalt Pavement Research and Implementation (CAPRI)

As owners and operators of the nation’s surface transportation infrastructure, state departments of transportation (DOTs) are striving to design and build longer lasting and more cost-effective asphalt pavements that meet a higher level of sustainability, safety and user satisfaction for the public. To achieve this goal, state DOTs continue to adopt innovative technologies and optimized practices for designing, constructing, and preserving asphalt pavements. The adopted innovative technologies and practices are often developed from the collaborative research efforts supported by the state DOTs, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and industry. To continue fostering the development of new technologies and practices, this pooled fund study will identify and address national priority research and implementation needs for asphalt pavements that state DOTs face today and in the future. Consortium for Asphalt Pavement Research and Implementation (CAPRI) will operate as a voluntary consortium of flexible pavement stakeholders that is open to all state, local, and federal highway agencies, industry associations, individual companies, academic institutions and research organizations. The Alabama DOT will serve as the lead state and the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) at Auburn University will handle administrative duties for the project. Each participating entity may appoint one voting representative to CAPRI. The goals of CAPRI are to: Provide technical guidance on current and evolving specifications for asphalt materials; Develop asphalt pavement research needs; Conduct small-scale studies to address knowledge gaps or explore new topics; Foster the implementation of practical research findings to help improve the performance, sustainability, value, and safety of asphalt pavements. As a consortium of all asphalt pavement stakeholders, CAPRI will be a key resource to the AASHTO Committee on Materials and Pavements, state DOTs, FHWA, and industry.
