Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) Conference

The TRB 7th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing will be held in July 20-24, 2025 in Auburn, AL, at the Hotel at Auburn University & Dixon Conference Center. This interactive conference promotes idea sharing, research, and showcases noteworthy practices and solutions. Click here for the conference details.

Participants will be part of a unique forum to address the various aspects and benefits of accelerated pavement testing (APT) from an international perspective. They will gain insight into needs and upcoming trends for future developments in accelerated pavement testing, and contribute to mapping the future of engineering and managing APT. Focusing on accelerated pavement testing, the conference will benefit APT current and prospective facility owners and researchers, and road agency and pavement engineering practitioners who are interested in using APT data to develop improved methods of pavement design.

Presentations will cover project specific investigations including asphalt binder performance, interlayer systems, hot- and warm-mix asphalt, concrete surfacing, cement stabilization, airfield pavements. Look for additional information on pre-conference workshops along with technical tours at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT).

Additional sessions will also cover topics including:

• Establishing and reviewing facilities

• Cost-benefit

• Implementation of APT findings into practices

• Instrumentation

• Calibration of mechanistic-empirical performance models

• Linking APT and long-term pavement performance (LTPP)
