Road Map Research Tracks

About the tracks

Overall Goal: By 2015, the concrete pavement community will have a comprehensive, integrated, and fully functional system of concrete pavement technologies that provides innovative solutions for customer-driven performance requirements.

The CP Road Map outlines 13 research tracks, numerous subtracks, and approximately 250 problem statements.
