Improved pavement temperature prediction model for asphalt pavement design in Queensland: Year 1 2018/19

Queensland faces extreme heat, both in terms of the incidence of consecutive hot and sunny days in summer and in the relatively mild winters. With thick asphalt pavements increasingly being selected ahead of alternative treatments in the west and north of Queensland, there is potential for large thickness reductions without compromising performance in areas. The objective of this project was to develop an initial pavement design model that could be customised to Queensland locations and conditions while aligning with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads pavement design procedures.
