In 1998, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program and the Highway Division Pavements Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) initiated a program to organize an international contest on the use of LTPP data. The competition was designed to promote the use of LTPP data and involve the future pavement engineers in university in the analysis of data from the LTPP database. The program has been in operation for 5 years with four contests completed. The papers contained in this document are the result of the 2003–2004 contest.
