• Abstract:
  This report provides a Road Map for implementing the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design software for the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The Road Map calls for a series of three stages: Stage 1 - Immediate, Stage 2 - Near Term, and Stage 3 - Future or Long Range. Within each stage are various specific steps to achieve the required objectives for implementation. The general implementation plan is to develop for ITD the Idaho AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design User’s Guide, Version 1.1 under Stage 1 for use by designers and others for preliminary design and training purposes. Specific deficiencies in inputs and calibrations are identified in the draft guide for further improvement under the next stage. Stage 2 represents a major work effort over several years to fill the deficiencies for inputs, to conduct local Idaho calibration of distress and IRI models, and to provide training. Stage 3 represents future long-term work to improve various inputs and to maintain unbiased models.
