iENGINEERING is pleased to announce the latest release of LTPP InfoPave, featuring a host of new and upgraded features aimed at enhancing user experience on the platform. The commitment to provide valuable pavement performance, traffic, construction, and other data under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) LTPP program continues with Standard Data Release (SDR) 37.
In addition to the SDR 37, users will find Ancillary Information Management System data available across various segments of the website, including ancillary data selection and download, inspection videos, and manual distress survey options. Furthermore, the website now also boasts a wide-screen user interface (UI), ensuring a seamless and visually appealing experience for all users.
A significant focus has been placed on Analysis Ready Datasets (ARDs), introducing the Analysis Ready Material Datasets (ARMAD) with an incorporated chart feature for enhanced visualization and interpretation. While currently specific to ARMAD, this enhancement lays the groundwork for potential future inclusions such as Analysis Ready Performance Dataset (ARPED), Analysis Ready Climate Dataset (ARCLD), and Analysis Ready Traffic Dataset (ARTRD).
Additionally, six new tables have been integrated to facilitate access to comprehensive pavement condition data within the ARPED. Data augmentation has been conducted for both the ARCLD and the ARTRD. Users can now gain insights into pavement performance events through a dedicated table across all data categories, and a special studies filter streamlines the data search process.
The Multi Variate Trends tab in the trend analysis feature now includes additional data attributes, enabling users to compare two or three variables seamlessly. Hourly climate database (HCD) files, organized by country and state, are now available for bulk download as convenient zip files. Furthermore, the website has been linked to the Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) website under the library section, serving as a comprehensive repository for LTPP-related TPF studies.
To further facilitate research and analysis, data citations have been integrated, ensuring that all downloaded data can be properly referenced. Moreover, updates have been made to the LTPP directives and library metadata.
These enhancements mark a significant step forward, providing users with even more data-driven insights and a user-friendly experience. Discover the latest features and data offerings on LTPP InfoPave today, and stay tuned for further exciting developments on the horizon!
