Abstract:

Pavement ME Design (MEPDG/DARWin-ME) is a significant advancement in pavement design, but ; requires much more inputs from various sources. Through the transportation pooled fund study TPF- ; 5(242), a full-production software Prep-ME with comprehensive database features has been developed ; to assist state DOTs in data preparation and improve the management and workflow of Pavement ME ; Design input data. Prep-ME is capable of pre-processing, importing, checking the quality of raw ; Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) traffic data, and generating three levels of traffic data inputs with in-built ; clustering analysis methods for Pavement ME Design. A number of additional modules in Prep-ME ; may be useful to any highway agency, including those for climate, materials and FWD. The ultimate ; goal of Prep-ME is to be the companion tool that can seamlessly communicate with Pavement ME ; Design in a full production environment for the local calibration and implementation. This tool can be ; used by pavement design engineers to prepare input for Pavement ME Design, but also traffic ; engineers to collect better traffic data and manage those data for other applications. In addition, the 1- ; mm 3D laser imaging PaveVision3D Ultra technology developed by the research team has been ; demonstrated for the potential use of calibrating Pavement ME Design.
