Abstract:The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program was formally established by the U.S. Congress in the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, as part of the first Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). While most of the SHRP initiatives ended after the first five-year SHRP effort, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) was formally authorized by Congress in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 to continue management of the LTPP Program to complete the mission of performance observations over full pavement construction (new or rehabilitation) cycles. In 1992, FHWA assumed management and administrative responsibilities to continue the LTPP Program and complete the planned pavement performance monitoring in partnership with the State transportation agencies that own the LTPP test sections, the Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB). With the 2014 data collection cycle completed, a dataset reflecting two- and-a-half decades of data collection will soon be available.
