Pavement Surface Properties Consortium - A Research Program at the Virginia Smart Road

About the project:

Through a regional pooled fund, this program of research will focus on optimizing pavement surface texture characteristics.  The initial focus of the program will be the application of inertial and laser-based equipment for measuring pavement surface properties.  The five-year program will involve at least the following:

 - establish equipment comparison and verification facility and host annual equipment roundup

 - evaluate new and existing methods and technologies for measurement of functional highway surface properties

 - conduct specific studies that require measurement of pavement surface properties under controlled traffic or environmental conditions on different surfaces.
