Consortium for Asphalt Pavement Research and Implementation 2 (CAPRI-2)

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 seek and adopt innovative technologies and optimized practices for designing, constructing, and preserving asphalt pavements. These innovative technologies and practices are often developed from collaborative research efforts supported by state DOTs, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and industry. The Consortium for Asphalt Pavement Research and Implementation (CAPRI) is a voluntary consortium of flexible pavement stakeholders open to all state, local, and federal highway agencies, industry associations, individual companies, academic institutions, and research organizations. With the momentum that has been built over the past 4 years with the first CAPRI, stakeholders wish to continue the mission through a second solicitation of CAPRI (e.g., CAPRI-2) study. CAPRI-2 will continue to identify and address national priority research and implementation needs for asphalt pavements that state DOTs face today and will in the future. This second study will also aim to foster the development of practical innovations and practices. OBJECTIVES: The primary objectives of the study are: 1) to provide technical guidance on current and evolving specifications for asphalt materials; 2) to develop asphalt pavement research needs; 3) to conduct small-scale studies to address knowledge gaps or explore new topics; and 4) to foster the implementation of practical research findings to help improve the performance, sustainability, value, and safety of asphalt pavements. CAPRI serves as a key resource to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Materials and Pavements, state DOTs, FHWA, and industry.
