Local calibration of the MEPDG prediction models for pavement rehabilitation and evaluation of top-down cracking for Oregon Roadways

Abstract

the occurrence of thermal cracks. The Darwin ME calibrated models of rutting and alligator cracking can be implemented, however, it is recommended that additional sites, which would contain more detailed inputs (mostly Level 1), be established and be included in the future calibration efforts and thus, further improve the accuracy of the prediction models.
