TRB Data Analysis Working Group
FORUM ON PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE DATA ANALYSIS
The Transportation Research Board's Data Analysis Working Group --- "the DAWG" --- will conduct a forum on pavement performance data analysis on 10 August 2001, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. All attendees of the Conference interested in the analysis of pavement performance data are welcome to attend without charge. Anyone interested in presenting a briefing at this forum should submit an abstract as soon as possible.
The DAWG is an international forum for the discussion of methods of analysis of pavement performance data. Presentations at DAWG-sponsored forums address the technical interests of professionals engaged in highway research and engineering design, maintenance, and rehabilitation who are engaged in collecting, processing, and analyzing such data and developing insights into the behavior of pavements. Presentations offered by forum attendees focus on work-in-progress concerning the development of techniques for extracting and analyzing data, and early results of recent applications of these techniques. Topics such as model building, sensitivity analysis, and development of transfer functions linking structural response to distress are especially popular.
A DAWG forum has a minimum of formality to encourage open discussion
among attendees and minimize the time between the presenters' preparation
and dissemination of analytical results. The agenda is prepared in advance,
based on responses to a call for abstracts. Abstracts are reviewed solely
for conformity with DAWG guidelines, and as many as time permits are placed
on the agenda. Presentations are not subjected to prior technical review.
Copies of presentation materials are not distributed. Presentations are
not published. Comments by forum attendees are not recorded.
