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.

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
Ongoing research for deicing pavement A B C A) Binghamton NY airport, 4000 SF, geothermal B) SafeLane brine-embedded aggregate C) Des Moines IA airport, test panels, electric, by ISU’s Halil Ceylan

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
