• Abstract:
  This report presents a statistical-based algorithm that was developed to reconcile the results from several pavement performance models used in the state of practice with systematic process control techniques. These algorithms identify project-specific parameters that should be the focus of the construction quality management by quantifying the variability of the construction parameters. The identification of these parameters allows for transportation agencies to focus their limited funds and resources in a move efficient manner.
