Project Description:n this collaborative project, two leading Oklahoma universities – the University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) – will work with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to assess network-level pavement conditions rapidly and cost-effectively, using novel tools. Roadway pavements constitute a critical element of surface transportation infrastructure. With a large portion of pavements in poor condition and reaching the end of their service lives, pavement maintenance and rehabilitation are becoming increasingly challenging tasks for many state DOTs, including DOTs in Region 6.
