| Roadmap/Focus area(s): | Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap | |
| Project Description: | LTPPBind 3.1 needs to be updated and improved using current climatic data, which includes emerging climate change phenomenon and events occurring within the last decade to more accurately perform asphalt pavement materials selection and pavement performance characterization. | |
| Goals: |
The primary objective of this effort is to develop, enhance, and deliver a new version of LTPPBind tool to maximize user understanding of pavement engineering for selecting the most suitable and cost-effective asphalt binder Performance Grade for a particular site.
|
|
| Product Type: | Draft standard, specifications, or guidelines Software | |
| Test Methodology: | Update the climatic data linked to the LTPPBind software. Improve the utilization of version 3.1. Provide compatibility with 64-bit Microsoft® Windows® 8 or later computer operating systems. Deployment through LTPP InfoPave. | |
| Partners: | Federal Highway Administration: Office of Research, Development, and Technology - Office of Infrastructure Research and Development; Role(s): Advisory, Technical, Other stakeholder | |
| Expected Benefits: | Incorporating recent, missing, and additional climatic data collected since the development and release of LTPPBind and improving the utilization of version 3.1 will impact pavement materials selection and design resulting in significant pavement performance cost savings. | |
| Deliverables: | Name: LTPPBind Product Type(s): Software, Draft standard, specifications, or guidelines Description: LTPPBind official release package and final LTPPBind User's Guide. | |
