The overall objective of the Roadway Research Initiative study was to describe an advanced testing capability, one that would speed implementation of the results from traditional computer and laboratory-based research efforts by providing a reusable test bed for evaluating field performance under actual traffic and environmental conditions. A longer-term benefit would result from the development of performance-based models for use in mechanistic pavement design procedures. The report describes the concept of the Roadway Research Implementation Center, including test program goals and objectives. Test-site configuration is illustrated, cost estimates are presented, and the organizational structure is suggested. Finally, immediate steps are recommended for utilizing the 1/3-scale mobile load simulator in the final design of the test center.
