Abstract: Thermal cracking of asphalt pavements is primary distress in cold regions. The Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) can be used as a thermal cracking prediction tool for asphalt mixtures based on AASHTO TP 125. This study investigates ...

Abstract: This study was undertaken to locally calibrate and implement the models for a mechanistic-empirical design guide (MEPDG) for jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) sections. Twenty-two newly constructed JPCP projects were ...

Abstract: The development of tests, standards, and specifications necessitates the establishment of technical validity while concurrently optimizing costs associated with the testing requirements. AASHTO TP 125-16 recommends the ...

Abstract: The transit signal priority (TSP) strategy has been widely adopted as a practical approach to improving the efficiency and reliability of transit operations. Over the years, few studies have adopted the concept of TSP to ...

Abstract: The semicircular bending (SCB) test characterizes crack resistance by determining the fracture toughness of asphalt mixtures. This test has been favored by many researchers due to the easy sample preparation and the ...

Abstract: The emerging connected vehicle (CV) technology has introduced the opportunity to improve traditional traffic signal operation. Real-time vehicle trajectory information (location, speed, and heading) from CV technology can ...
