Sensitivity Analysis as Decision Support Tool for Missouri Department of Transportation MEPDG Implementation
This presentation overviews the concepts of sensitivity analysis and applications of the results in guiding decisions during state-specific implementation of AASHTO’s interim Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The results from the sensitivity studies performed during the local calibration of the MEPDG models for the Missouri Department of Transportation (DOT) are specifically referenced. The presentation underscores the importance of sensitivity analysis as a decision support tool in locally calibrating the MEPDG performance models and illustrates an approach for setting up a successful sensitivity study. Results from the sensitivity analysis conducted for new jointed plain concrete pavements and asphalt concrete pavements are presented. In addition, a discussion of how the results were used by Missouri DOT is provided.
