Abstract:
Regional pavement management agencies often suffer from inadequate resources and technical people to carry out maintenance tasks efficiently. Though funding shortage is an issue for most agencies, regional agencies confront it primarily for various reasons such as the class of the roads managed by them, traffic intensity, the size of service population, and the jurisdiction.

Posted Posted in Recent Journal Articles, Recent Publications
Abstract: The selection of a climate-appropriate asphalt binder is essential in ensuring the longevity of pavement surfaces. As the selection methodology depends on the pavement’s temperature, several models predict pavement temperatures based on recorded ambient air temperatures and other related factors.… View More

Abstract:
Assessing roadway assets condition is the prerequisite of an efficient road management system. It requires participation from the top management, equipment, trained human resources, and dedicated funding. Newfoundland and Labrador have 13,500 lane kilometers of roads, of which almost 7,700 kilometers belong to the local jurisdictions.

Abstract: Over the past 20 years, climate scientists have predicted that anthropogenic climate change would lead to an increase in global temperatures. In addition, the trends were predicted to further aggravate in the near future. Recent studies stated that this climate change has had a significant impact on pavement performance.… View More
