Micromobility has rapidly proliferated in cities nationwide, proving to be a popular transportation option for many users. Micromobility devices may be individually owned; however, the recent surge of devices in cities is due primarily to the deployment of shared fleets by private companies. Shared micromobility systems are deployed in targeted ser

Achieving appropriate in-place density is critical to the long-term performance of an asphalt pavement as a small change in inplace density can significantly affect the pavement service life. Thus, a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) demonstration project was created for “Enhanced Durability of Asphalt Pavements through Increased In-place Pavem
