The final product of the research is a best practice guide for pavement management. Not only will this be a reference for all things related to pavement management, but it will also act as a “desk guide” for practitioners. To enhance access and implementation, it is envisioned that this guide will be developed and available through an electronic web-based format.

National Asphalt Roadmap: A Commitment to the Future
This report is a combined effort of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), National Asphalt Paving Association (NAPA), Asphalt institute (AI), and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).
This Roadmap is a comprehensive report, which addresses a full range of important challenges in asphalt technology. It serves as a guiding document for research and technology deployment organizations and for others involved in the identification and formulation of programs and projects. Individuals and groups are encouraged to draw upon and share this document.
National Asphalt Roadmap: A Commitment to the Future – Executive Summary
This report is a combined effort of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), National Asphalt Paving Association (NAPA), Asphalt institute (AI), and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).
This document is the result of public-private partnership and presents the shared vision of the asphalt community for research and technology in the field of asphalt pavement and material technologies. In addition to the contributing agencies and organizations recognized on the title sheet, many individuals and groups provided valuable input into the Roadmap. The roles of those who contributed varied from members of the working group, who were involved in
the development of the report, to those who took time to provide review and comments. All of these contributions are valuable and are greatly appreciated. All of the organizations and individuals worked hard to make this report a valuable resource and are proud to call it our ?commitment to the future.? It is our hope this report will be used often and will be useful in shaping the future of asphalt technology in the United States.

Strategic Plan for LTPP Data Analysis
The Strategic Objectives of the national-level analysis effort are as follows. Each Objective is important to the achievement of the overall goal. The specific Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Analysis Outcomes expected to address these Objectives are shown on the listed objective.
Strategic Objective 1 Improve traffic characterization and prediction
Strategic Objective 2 Improve materials characterization
Strategic Objective 3 Improve consideration of environmental effects in pavement design and performance prediction
Strategic Objective 4 Improve evaluation and use of pavement condition data in pavement management
Strategic Objective 5 Evaluate existing and/or develop new pavement response and performance models applicable to pavement design and performance prediction
Strategic Objective 6 Provide guidance for maintenance and rehabilitation strategy selection and performance prediction
Strategic Objective 7 Quantify the performance impact of specific design features (presence or absence of positive drainage,differing levels of pre-rehab surface preparation,etc.)

Pavement Roadmap Problem Statements: Theme 3
The final product of the research is a best practice guide for pavement management. Not only will this be a reference for all things related to pavement management, but it will also act as a “desk guide” for practitioners. To enhance access and implementation, it is envisioned that this guide will be developed and available through an electronic web-based format.

Pavement Preservation Research Problem Statements
A workshop was held in Sacramento on June 2 1 -22,2001, to develop research problem statements related to pavement preservation. The workshop was a ioint effort among the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Foundation for Pavement Preservation (FPP). The California Department of Transportation hosted the 2-day meeting.
Participants at the workshop included FHWA, AASHTO members, FPP members, and academia. Dr. Jon Epps of Granite Construction, Inc., facilitated the meeting.
The purpose of the workshop was to gather practitioners from various maintenance disciplines around the United States to discuss research needs in the pavement preservation arena. The outcome was to be a series of problem statements that the partners could promote for funding and study.
A total of 50 research problem statements were initially identified and grouped in the following areas:
1 . Construction practices,
2. Materials selection and design,
3. Treatment strategies and selection,
4. Performance evaluation,
5. Training, and
6. Policy.
The participants prioritized the proiects and the number of proiects was then reduced to a total of 22. Project statements were prepared for each of these topics.
This report was prepared documenting the findings of the workshop and the resulting research proiect statements. The report is available from FHWA or FPP.
