Advanced models for analytical design of European pavement structures

Objective

First main goal of AMADEUS is the evaluation of existing, advanced pavement design models by comparing their predictions using standard inputs. The ability of these models to deal with different materials, pavement construction, climate and traffic characteristics will be considered. The evaluation will lead to recommendations and guidelines to promote appropriate use of these design models.
Second main goal is to set up the design elements for a comprehensive design method. In such a mechanistic design method a number of distress phenomena will be integrated.
The measurable project objectives are:

-Training of AMADEUS participants in the use of existing advanced pavement design methods.
-Evaluation of these methods in a variety of well-defined traffic, materials and climatic conditions.
-Workshop and subsequent evaluation activities in working groups for the individual models.
-User guidelines on the limitations and range of the existing advanced pavement design models.
-Detailed project plan for the development of a comprehensive pavement design methodology, integrating a number of deterioration phenomena.
