Bridging Research, Innovation, and Practice: Partnership for the Advancement of Pavement Engineering and Asset Management in Virginia

About the project:

This proposed new collaboration between VTRC and VTTI focuses on expanding and complementing the current and effective shorter-term focused applied research joint efforts between the two institutions, by establishing a joint program aimed at exploring ideas that will result in even more effective and efficient solutions in the midterm (3-5 years) but may require more fundamental research and development. The research program includes four tasks, including a first task focused on workforce development and three innovative projects identified in collaboration between CSRI and VTRC. Additional topics may be added if new emerging technologies or concepts are identified during the duration of the project.

Task 1. Workforce Development and Outreach

Task 2. Innovative Pavement Instrumentation for Real-Time and Remote Monitoring

Task 3. Use of BIM and Digital Twin for Pavement Asset Management

Task 4. Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML) for Pavement Performance Prediction
