Abstract:

Although the effects of climatic factors on pavement performance have long been recognized as important, those effects remain largely unquantified because individual pavement research projects to date generally have been restricted to limited geographic areas with more or less uniform climatic conditions and relatively short time spans, making it difficult to separate the effects of climatic factors from those of loading. By virtue of the relatively broad geographic and climatic distribution of the test sections involved and the long-term nature of the study, the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program will rectify this situation. The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) climatic data base is intended to provide the weather and climatic information needed to characterize the environment in which each LTPP test section has existed from the time of construction through the LTPP monitoring period. The development of SHRP's LTPP climatic data base, including the identification and sources of data, selection and verification of weather stations, actual data retrieval from available sources, and data quality assurance, is summarized. Future activities, such as updates and expansion of the data base and collection of ground-truth data, are also discussed.
