Call for Full Papers and Abstracts
The Transportation Research Board is soliciting papers for the upcoming 7th International Accelerated Pavement Testing Conference. This conference will offer two levels of submission, covering any relevant topic related to accelerated pavement testing and facilities: full papers or abstracts.
Research and Practical Papers
Full papers generally covering new developments based on scientific studies, and papers documenting implementation, innovation, decision-support tools, case studies, and experiences that merit sharing. Accepted manuscripts will be posted to the conference website. Full Papers should be submitted by December 13, 2024 for consideration.
Presentation Abstracts
Presentation abstracts generally document/summarize implementation of new knowledge, case studies, work in progress, or experience. These activities are being included in the conference to provide opportunities for participants to share valuable ideas with the entire Pavement community, without having to prepare a full paper. All abstracts should be submitted by December 13, 2024, approximately 400 to 600 words, and should clearly convey the material that will be presented. Submitters will also be asked to indicate their preferred delivery format (poster or lectern); the final designation of the format will be at the discretion of the planning committee.
Additional Details
All paper and presentation abstract submissions will be peer-reviewed by a technical committee following the TRB review process. Authors of accepted papers and presentation abstracts will be invited to present their findings in podium, poster, panel, or workshop sessions at the Conference.
Topics of Interest
Specific topics of interest to the APT community include but are not limited to the following subthemes and details:
- Establishing and reviewing facilities
- Cost-benefit
- Implementation of APT findings into practices
- Instrumentation
- Calibration of mechanistic-empirical performance models
- Linking APT and long-term pavement performance (LTPP)
