Vali­dati­on of Performance Models (endur­skoð­uð útgáfa dagsett í maí 2014)

In the NordFoU - Pavement Performance Models (PPM) project in 2010 a set of pavement performance models for flexible pavement structures as well as a software application for prediction of pavement performance on network level were presented.

In the current phase of the project (Pavement Performance Models 2 (PPM2) - Validation of Performance Models) the pavement performance models have been calibrated for Nordic conditions based on historical data from test sections in the Nordic countries. Thus in PPM2 calibration factors have been determined and for Sweden and Norway future roughness and rutting can be predicted and for Denmark roughness. It has not been possible to determine calibration factors for Iceland due to the limited available data.

The pavement performance models as well as the recommended calibration factors have been implemented in the '3xP Nordic' software.
