Abstract
Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) maintenance currently employs several patching methodologies; however, prior to this study, INDOT had little experience with using infrared pavement heaters as a maintenance tool. The purpose of this research was to introduce pavement heating technologies and provide INDOT maintenance personnel with experience using these technologies.
