Abstract


Service life of the pavement can be predicted with proper temperature estimation of the pavement structure. Asphalt mixture displays a different modulus upon temperature change due to its viscoelasticity. The purpose of this study is to estimate such a temperature. Methodology in here includes one with the solution of heat conduction theory of the asphalt, and the other one statistical method. Results show that there is not a significant difference between the results made by two different methods. As a result of the model performance, the error range between the observed value and the predicted value is within the range suggested by other studies, so it is judged that the performance of the model is good. However, the prediction accuracy in the month with the highest and lowest temperatures per year was low. It seems that follow-up actions on this part will be necessary in the future. This study is expected to be used in various ways for road management in Hungary, and it is expected to be a basic study for the construction of road meteorological information system.
