Today’s roads are designed to last around 20 years with resurfacing about every other year. According to statistics from the FHWA, traffic has steadily increased by ~20% over the past 25 years. If current trends continue, a road designed today will most likely take on future traffic loads much greater than it was built to accommodate. How can municipalities design roads to enhance performance, extend pavement maintenance and save costs over the long term?
Imagine, if you will, the “road of the future”. The road of the future is smart, efficient and extends pavement maintenance intervals by 50%. It only requires rehabilitation every 30 years with reconstruction after 50+ years, allowing owners to decrease their backlog, improve their network performance and do it all with minimal change to their current process.
In this webinar we will discuss:
- Understanding factors that influence pavement performance
- Construction techniques for new construction and repairs that enhance pavement life
- Understanding how pavements fail and implementing strategies to extend life
- Using AI to collect and analyze data regarding pavement performance and condition
- Maintenance strategies to extend life of existing pavements
- Wholistic approach to preserving and managing pavement assets
This first in a nearly year-long series of webinars will provide the overview of many improvements in the way we construct roads, measure road performance, maintain roads and the data collection that allows these improvements to be utilized by the asset owners.
