(You must purchase a separate ticket for the workshops. This is not included in your Congress registration).

FAA PAVEAIR

9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

PDHs: 2.5 credits

The topic of this workshop is the FAA’s new program, FAA PAVEAIR. FAA PAVEAIR is an internet-based computer program for airport pavement evaluation and maintenance. The workshop and presentation has been developed to provide an introduction to FAA PAVEAIR for airport pavement engineers and consultants. FAA PAVEAIR is a new airport pavement evaluation application and in addition to providing the development and the testing history of FAA PAVEAIR, the application source reference and functionality will also be presented. The workshop will include a live demonstration of FAA PAVEAIR, including remotely connecting to the FAA server. The demonstration will also illustrate the importing of data from existing pavement management systems, login and account set up, and application architectural design.

Topics to be covered by the FAA PAVEAIR presentation and demonstration include:

Importing data from existing pavement management systems
Security measures to prohibit unintended release of data
Inventory - add, delete, and edit pavement information
Work - allows entering of pavement work data for specific areas
PCI - Pavement Condition Index
Standard Reports - variety of reports for given data such as section, branch, etc
Prediction Modeling - allows prediction the future condition of larger samples of pavement based on the evaluation of smaller samples of similar pavement
Condition Analysis - allows quantification of the cause and rate of pavement deterioration with respect to time
Maintenance and Repair (M & R) - allows evaluation of various M & R options with the resulting pavement life

The FAA PAVEAIR presentation and workshop will also address future improvements to the software, how to provide feedback on its use, and the future merger of FAA pavement software programs into a suite of tools.
