Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Infrastructure Research and Development
Team:	Pavement Design and Construction Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description:	Pavement structural deterioration performance curves from analysis of traffic speed deflection measurements, identification, and further development of promising devices/technologies for the collection of required data.
Laboratories:	Not Applicable
Start Date:	October 1, 2012
End Date:	September 30, 2015
Funding Amount:	$0.00
FHWA Program Name:	Innovative Pavement Research and Deployment
Goals:	The key project objective is to develop tools and analysis methodologies for pavement structural condition evaluation at the network level at or close to traffic speed to evaluate and better model structural performance of as-constructed pavements.
Project Type:	Onsite and Offsite
Background Information:	This effort will build upon the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) R06-F findings and the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) own Rolling Wheel Deflectometer (RWD) efforts to develop data needs for robust pavement structural evaluation in consideration of current state of the practice in and emerging sensor and equipment technology.
Test Methodology:	Theoretical modeling, numerical analysis, field data collection, equipment review, and development.
Other Information:	Data not yet available
Partners:	Data not yet available
