Abstract:The National Asphalt Roadmap is structured into programs and projects. Seven program areas are chosen to frame the major components of asphalt technology: Workforce Development, Long-Life Pavements and Pavement Performance, Improved Structural Design of Pavements, Materials Characterization and Mix Design, Construction Practices and Quality Management Systems, Innovative Contracting Approaches, and Surface Characteristics. Each program area has an introduction to provide insight into the current status of products, equipment and technology, and the major challenges in that area. The National Asphalt Roadmap identifies a number of general research projects in each of the program areas. There are a total of 69 projects identified. The selection of projects is based on a consensus of experts from all segments of the asphalt community. The research projects discussed in the Roadmap are broad in scope. The description of each of the projects includes a brief problem statement that provides an introduction and background information related to the research needed in that project area. It should be remembered that the intent of the problem statement is to provide an overview of a research topic and not necessarily to completely define it. It is likely that a number of actual research projects with more specific scopes can be identified within each problem statement. The tasks enumerated under each project are structured to result in clear and useful outcomes. The projects are presented in a format that includes: title, objective, introduction, background, expanded objective statement, and a work plan discussing the tasks that are anticipated. The detailed research problem statement for each project is available at www. hotmix.org.
