• Abstract:
  The researchers investigated innovative tools and techniques that accelerate the construction of roadway improvement projects. In coordination with local Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) districts, the researchers identified four major roadway improvement projects and performed case studies using innovative tools and techniques to accelerate pavement construction. The researchers tested these projects by employing advanced planning tools. A novel construction schedule–cost–traffic integration approach was implemented to help TxDOT make the most informed decisions with regard to balanced trade-offs to lessen traffic disruption to the traveling public while minimizing construction time and road user cost. The researchers prepared and presented training materials and guidance to include methodology, testing procedures, and other tools used in the selection and design of pavement for candidate projects.
