Specific Pavement Study (SPS) Traffic Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(004) - Pooled Fund Study - LTPP - Pavements

Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Specific Pavement Study (SPS) Traffic Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(004)

The traffic pooled fund study is designed to fill in gaps and improve the quality and quantity of monitored traffic data from the LTPP program's SPS-1, -2, -5, -6, and -8 projects.

Participating States
Map of the United States highlighting the participating States: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
20 States have contributed $2.7 million to the study.

This five-year study consists of two phases. Phase I consists of assessing, evaluating, and calibrating the current Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) and Vehicle Classification (VC) systems used to collect traffic data at the SPS sites across the country. Phase II will consist of installing and maintaining new WIM equipment as necessary to ensure high-quality data collection. The five-year data collection period will begin at a site once it has been approved by LTPP for producing research quality data. Research quality data is defined to be at last 210 days in a year of data of known calibration meeting LTPP's precision requirements.

State highway agencies and industry representatives still have the opportunity to join the pooled-fund study. To learn more, contact Deborah Walker at FHWA, 202-493-3068 (email: deborah.walker@fhwa.dot.gov).
