Benchmarking Pavement Environmental Performance Using Data-Driven Modeling and Policy by Vaidyanath, Varsha

“…This paper addresses how a new pavement evaluation system and policy framework might drive better solutions to reduce carbon emissions, from a climate change standpoint. The main components include: establishing why current pavement rating systems and current policy are not sufficient, performing a data-driven analysis with a grading and scorecard system to assess, compare, and summarizing pavement design quality, and proposing an effective policy framework to implement the system.…”
