Roadmap Development Workshop April 20-21, 2021
A Roadmap Development Workshop was held on April 20-21, 2021, to obtain stakeholder input for developing an implementation plan for Agency use of DPS as an acceptance tool for asphalt pavements during construction. Participants representing the Federal Highway Administration, State Highway Agencies, paving industry (not DPS vendors), consultants, and academia attended the workshop. They were apprised of FHWA’s requirements for quality assurance, progress to date on the pooled fund study, and three lead States’ examples of efforts towards advancement and acceptance of DPS. The participants considered potential barriers and opportunities facing implementation and identified a set of strategies, goals, and tactics to include in the implementation plan. They discussed various methodologies for using DPS for quality assurance. The group also provided input for a marketing plan to be used by FHWA. Click here to download the Roadmap.
