Accelerated Pavement Testing Working Group

The goal of this pooled fund is to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information on accelerated pavement testing (APT) facilities. The main objective is to focus discussions, studies and knowledge exchange on the entire operation process, including experimental design, sensor selection and installation, data collection and analysis, monitoring processes, and database documentation and data storage with best data management practices, and disseminate research results and the road map for APT research. This will be done through formalized online meetings, face-face operational meetings, and one online international conference once during this pooled fund. A consultant will be hired to help document the desired outcomes of this pooled fund. APT operators and agencies will also be held responsible for full participation to make this effort successful. Currently there is no “common” way for all facilities to coordinate with each other than individual partnerships between facilities. Members of this pooled fund could include test tracks like (MnROAD/MnDOT, NCAT/Auburn, Florida, Virginia Smart Road, …) and linear vehicle simulators (LVS) like (FHWA Turner Fairbanks, University California Davis, University of Illinois, CRREL, ERDC- Waterway Experiment, Purdue University, Texas, Florida, …) along with international partnerships from Sweden, Japan, China, France, Spain, …).
