Event Description/Abstract
While MEPDG is an effective pavement design tool for INDOT, low volume LPA projects may not require that level of complexity. Many agencies have long been comfortable with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures and the associated software known as DARWinTM. However, DARWinTM is no longer available, and local agencies and consultants are faced with a lack of well-supported pavement design tools in the marketplace. PaveXpress is a free online tool to help you create simplified pavement designs using key engineering inputs, based on the AASHTO 1993 and 1998 supplement pavement design process. It is user friendly and works on your phone or tablet. Come learn how simple it is to use this tool.
