An Empirical Model for Optimal Highway Durability in Cold Regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We develop an empirical tool to estimate optimal highway durability in cold regions. To test the model, we assemble a data set containing all highway construction and maintenance projects in Arizona and Washington State from 1990 to 2014.
