Project Name Verification of Pavement Structure and Deflection

Project Number (if applicable) 99008W159

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The goals of this project are to first compare different pavement deflection energy dissipation models and the results they provide for estimated fuel consumption and GHG emissions for a range of pavements, vehicles and climates using well characterized and documented sections, and then to verify the same models using the results of the field measurements on the same sections with instrumented vehicles following the general approach used by Michigan State for NCHRP 1-45. This work is part of Caltrans participation in the Miriam (Models for rolling resistance In Road Infrastructure Asset Management systems) project which is being performed by a consortium of European national highway research laboratories and the FHWA. Caltrans has requested that MnDOT provide an independent review of the evaluation, led by Dr. Lev Khazanovich.
