SLIDE 1
CPU 8: Linking Concrete Paving to the 2040 Future
SLIDE 2 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?
SLIDE 3 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.

SLIDE 13
Bioluminescent trees light roads at night
SLIDE 14 Photoluminous striping and marking
SLIDE 15
Dynamic paint changes with temperature
SLIDE 16 Ongoing research for deicing pavement

SLIDE 18
Possible future highway materials
SLIDE 19
Debatably interesting, but how might pavement design and construction change in the future?
SLIDE 20 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
SLIDE 21 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)
SLIDE 22 And that’s a quick summary of what’s going on. Thank you.
