Title:

Innovation Process and Database for Pavement Preservation Treatments Used in California

Accession Number:

Abstract:

Transportation officials in the United States are faced with the challenges of an aging and degrading roadway pavement system, as well as the lack of funding. Effective pavement preservation techniques can preserve our investment in, and improve the quality of, our infrastructure. To promote the effective pavement preservation techniques in California, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has developed a streamlined process and management system to support innovations by funding and documenting innovative projects. An innovation database has been developed to assist the implementation of innovation and new products in the area of pavement preservation and to encourage technology transfer through dissemination of information through websites. A number of new innovation projects, such as cold-in-place recycling, fog and rejuvenation seals, hot-in-place recycling, interlayers, polymer or rubber modified asphalt chip seals, Open graded rubberized asphalt concrete with high binder contents (RAC-O-HB), and warm mixes are currently being stored into the database. The new innovation process has been of valuable assistance to Caltrans in documenting these preservation techniques. The Caltrans innovation process and database are valuable pavement preservation management tools. Other agencies can use Caltrans innovation process and management tool as a template to build a system to support their own pavement preservation programs.
