Abstract

In 1987, Congress funded the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). As part of SHRP, several pavement test sections were selected for monitoring around the country. Construction as well as performance data have been collected on all test sections and saved in the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Information Management System (IMS). The collected data is very beneficial for researchers as well as practitioners in investigating the long-term performance of pavements. Recently, the Federal Highway Administration released a computer program called Data Pave to help in making LTPP data available for any interested party. It is the main objective of this study to evaluate the capabilities of Data Pave and evaluate some of the pavement performance data for Region 8.
