Abstract:Accelerated pavement testing (APT) hastens pavement failure using loading techniques like test tracks and traffic simulation devices, providing valuable data within a shorter timeframe. Major existing U.S. test tracks yield cost-effective developments, but climate-specific conditions require tailored approaches. Efforts to establish a regional pavement testing facility in Wyoming face challenges due to the lack of documented guidelines for planning and development, the absence of economic evaluation frameworks, and uncertainty about the benefit-cost impacts during the planning process to developers and the next generation of accelerated pavement tracks.
