Abstract:

Research Project 0-4381, entitled “Develop an Automated System for Updating Pavement Layer Data,” is intended to develop the appropriate mechanism and the corresponding algorithms that can be used to build an automated relationship between the pavement structure of the layer database and other potential source(s) of pavement layer information at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). As a result, this research presents the structure of the Automated Updating System designed to achieve a live and accurate pavement layer database. In this study, a thorough literature review on the potential data sources for the Automated Updating System has been performed, followed by a careful consideration of what pavement layer data items are essential for inclusion in the database. The essential data items that are not currently available within the current GEOPAK design processes are identified, and recommendations for making those data items available have been introduced. Based on the system design concept defined in this study, the proof of concept of the Automated Updating System has been developed. The recommendations for statewide implementation of the system have also been given.
