General Information

Summary:	The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program was initiated in 1987 and is the largest pavement study ever conducted. The program has monitored more than 2,500 test sections on in-service highways located throughout the United States and Canada. The program’s goal is to understand how and why pavements perform as they do. As highway agencies transition to a performance-based approach to managing highway investments, this goal is more important than ever. The data is housed in the LTPP Database - the world's largest pavement performance database, and made available to the public via the LTPP Database web interface – LTPP InfoPave™ (www.infopave.com). LTPP data has been utilized to provide over an estimated $2.5 billion in savings, and as the program continues to monitor existing test sections and constructs new experiments, it provides enormous potential for research and the development of products to further improve pavement technology for decades to come.
Learning Outcomes:	• History and Overview of the LTPP program • Benefits of the LTPP program • Current and future activities at the LTPP program • How to utilize LTPP Data and Tools • How to extract data from LTPP InfoPave™ • How to use LTPP InfoPave™ features • How to use LTPP software • Typical analysis examples
