ANNOUNCEMENT

PAVEMENT ANALYSIS WORKSHOP (PAWS)

TO BE CONDUCTED IN WASHINGTON, DC,
ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2020
AT TRB’S 99th ANNUAL MEETING
(Room TBD)

The AFD** series (AFD10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, and 90) TRB Committees will conduct a Pavement Analysis
Workshop (PAWS) in Washington, DC, on Thursday, January 16, 2020 from 8 am until 12 pm. All attendees
of the TRB Annual Meeting who are interested in the analysis of pavement performance data are welcome to
attend and participate.

The PAWS workshop addresses techniques for extracting, processing, and analyzing pavement performance
data as well as the preliminary results of the applications of these techniques. These topics are usually related to
ongoing research for which the presenter is seeking feedback on the approach, results, etc. Pavement
researchers, designers, and managers are encouraged to attend along with others interested in the analysis of
pavement performance data.

Anyone who would like to present a briefing at this forum is invited to submit an abstract as soon as possible.
Presentations focus on techniques for extracting and analyzing data, and early results of recent applications of
these techniques. Topics such as model building, sensitivity analysis, and correlations of structural response
with distress are particularly pertinent.

Volunteer presenters are required to submit brief abstracts of their proposed presentations. The surveymonkey
app will be used to collect abstracts: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TRB_2020_PAWS.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is October 31, 2019. As many qualifying abstracts as time permits will be
placed on the agenda. Presentations are not subjected to prior technical review, and are neither distributed nor
published. Presentations will have a maximum time limit of 20 minutes. Comments made during the
discussion period that follows each presentation are not recorded. All of these policies are intended to
encourage presentations of recent (up-to-the-minute) work and free-wheeling discussions among presenters and
attendees.
