Linking Concrete Paving to the 2040 Future The four parts of this - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

CPU 8: Linking Concrete Paving to the 2040 Future

The four parts of this Breakout Session • What Functionality Will the Highways of the Future Have? • Colorado DOT Perspectives with Peter Kozinski of WSP USA • Florida DOT Perspectives with Tim Ruelke of FDOT • Group Discussion: How Can ACPA Members Build the Highways of the Future?

A follow-up to the Vision 2040 workshop • Vision 2040 is ACPA’s leadership in future of pavements • Please read the new Vision 2040 report from the workshop • After workshop, there was desire to learn more about what’s coming and how it will affect pavement design and construction • With help from Feng Mu of PNA Construction Technologies, here are highlights of what’s coming, two DOTs who are leading this area, and your input how we will build PCCP of the future.

What Functionality Will Highways of the Future Have? Dan Rozycki, President, The Transtec Group Dan@TheTranstecGroup.com 512-451-6233 office 512-659-6233 cell

In other words, what’s going on around the world? Dan Rozycki, President, The Transtec Group Dan@TheTranstecGroup.com 512-451-6233 office 512-659-6233 cell

Solar panels on pavement to generate energy

Dynamic Electric Vehicle Charging (DEVC)

Piezoelectric crystals convert mech to elec energy

Embedded sensors in pavement ePave sensor

Integrated tech for total pavement monitoring Artificial Intelligence Assisted Road Infrastructure Management FP2000 DSC111 Posti delivery DST111 senses for laser surface vans have water, ice, infrared temp, water, cams and black ice, surface temp ice, friction sensors deicing chems

MIT’s Senseable City Lab: City Scanner Project

Drones monitor traffic, predict maintenance, fill cracks!

Bioluminescent trees light roads at night

Photoluminous striping and marking

Dynamic paint changes with temperature

Possible future highway materials

Debatably interesting, but how might pavement design and construction change in the future?

In conclusion, how might pavement design and construction change in the future? • Truck lane wander (good for Concrete) • Truck platooning, reduced following distance (good for Concrete) • Narrowed lanes (good for Concrete) • Elimination of stop/signal controlled intersections • Future Workzone/MOT with Road-to-Vehicle communication

In conclusion, how might pavement design and construction change in the future? • Increased nighttime truck traffic (good for Concrete) • Increased demand for durability/resiliency (good for Concrete) • Solar panels on pavement (good for Concrete) • Increased need for pavement smoothness (good for Concrete) • Future-proof pavement (good for Concrete)

And that’s a quick summary of what’s going on. Thank you. Dan Rozycki, The Transtec Group Dan@TheTranstecGroup.com 512-451-6233 office 512-659-6233 cell
