    The Benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Research to Funders

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 2477 – 2486 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 The benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) research to funders Tim Martin a,*, Lith Choummanivong a aARRB Group Ltd, 500 Burwood Highway, Vermont South, Victora, 3133, Australia Abstract Long-term pavement performance (LTPP) monitoring has been conducted in Australia for over 20 years. This research was funded by Austroads (representing federal, state and territory road agencies, local government and the New Zealand road agency) to promote improved practice and capability for the road agencies. The LTPP monitoring program measured performance by rutting, roughness, cracking and deflection. Initially the program involved a range of designated flexible pavement sites under varying conditions of environment and traffic. Many of these LTPP sites were included in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) of the United States (US). All sites were monitored in accordance with the SHRP protocols. Later long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPPM) sites were included in the program to: (i) assess the impact of surface maintenance treatments on changes to pavement conditions (works effects, WE); and, (ii) assess the impact of maintenance on road deterioration (RD). A range of RD and WE models were developed using the LTPP/LTPPM observational data in combination with experimental data collected from Australia's Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) that separately investigated the impact on RD of increased axle load and various typical surface maintenance treatments. The RD models cover the deterministic prediction of functional surface distress (rutting, roughness and cracking) and the loss of traffic load capacity (strength).
