Industry Coalition
– Asphalt Institute
– National Asphalt Pavement Association
– State Asphalt Pavement Association Executives
Dedicated to enhancing our nation’s roads and Dedicated to enhancing our nation’s roads and
highways through programs of education,
technology development, and technology
transfer on topics relating to Hot Mix Asphalt
pavements.
Asphalt paving industry required a joint plan to respond to competitive threats from concrete
• PCC developed aggressive national marketing strategy – Professionally developed implementation plan
– Spent $1.5M on plan
– Calls for $8M increase in spending over 3 yrs.
Asphalt Pavement Alliance……Why?
– Calls for $8M increase in spending over 3 yrs.
• Hire additional 44 professionals across state chapters
• Hire additional 2 professionals at ACPA HQs
• Hire additional admin. support
• Concrete Industry’s Published 2002 Targets– 15% increase in market share
– $3.3 billion in additional revenues
• Very successful to-date, but...
• Current efforts of AI, NAPA and SAPAEs were often
fragmented and redundant
– research, education, engineering, marketing
• Concrete Industry was more unified in their
Asphalt Paving Industry……Prior to APA
• Concrete Industry was more unified in their
structure and approach
• Asphalt Industry needed to respond by focusing
our efforts, combining / re-deploying resources
and avoiding duplication
ASPHALT INSTITUTEASPHALT INSTITUTE
• Combine technical, marketing and financial efforts
• Utilizes strength of three organizations
• One voice as an industry to deliver messages
• Implementation at the state level
• Supported at the national level by developing the necessary tools
� State, City, County and Federal Agencies
� Decision Makers: Engineers, Directors
� Elected / Appointed Government Officials
Many Audiences, Many Levels
� Policy Makers
� General Public
� Consulting Engineers
• Adapted in a variety of media.
• Developed a suite of exhibit material
(booths and displays) that work in concert or as
stand-alone pieces.
• Used in advertisements
Marketing Design
Exhibit Booths
•Several stand-alone or table-top versions
•Designed for maximum
versatility
•Used at local and national trade-shows, conferences, etc
•APA partners jointly man the booth
Each can stand alone or be used together

2001 Asphalt Pavement Conference
“A Lifetime of Smooth Performance”
Nov 14-16, 2001 in Austin, TX
Sponsored by APA, FHWA, TRB, AASHTO, NACE
• life-cycle, perpetual, performance, etc
– Safety/Comfort
• smoothness, noise, etc
– Durability
• compaction, segregation, QC, moisture, etc
– Innovation
• OGFC, SMA, night paving, etc
Individual State Alliances
• Where: Hopefully in each state
• Players: SAPAE, AI FE, contractors, suppliers, other NAPA, AI or SAPA members
• Purpose: Consolidated local industry efforts to promote HMA to promote HMA
• How: – Develop and execute effective marketing strategy for that state
– Use and adapt applicable tools (developed by national APA) that meet state’s needs
Individual State Alliances
• Complete Flexibility
• Lead Role: SAPAEs and/or AI FE
• Example Name: Kentucky Asphalt Pavement Alliance
• Recommended Size: 5-20 Members• Recommended Size: 5-20 Members
• Pay only for reproduction cost of tools
• Identify need for developing additional tools to National APA
Status of State APAs
•Industry Indoctrination by AI FEs and Roger Sandberg
•16+ states have formed a state alliance
•Many other states using APA materials and booths
• 3 states without SAPAE have held APA meetings:
TN, GA, NE
• APA exhibit booth at 33+ state/local shows and 6+
national/regional shows

FHWA - Long-Term Pavement Performance Study
• GPS-6 Experiment: AC Overlay of AC Pavements– 125 Overlays: .1 to 26.4 years old – Full Report: FHWA-RD-00-029– Summarized in TECHBRIEF (No. FHWA-RD-00-165)
• Conclusions
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• Conclusions– “Clearly, the majority …have served for 15 yrs. or m ore before
…distresses became sufficient to require rehabilitat ion.”– “…a number of test sections…have less than nominal le vels of
distress for more than 20 years”
• Well recognized as scientific and unbiased• Great opportunity to make gains in LCCA battles
Roadwork = Work Zone User Delays = $$$
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
How to minimize delays?
• Add capacity
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• Use longer lasting materials • Perform rehabilitation during off-
peak hours (i.e. night time paving)
FHWA’s Latest Guidance
Demo 115 Bulletin and Workshop– taught around the country
•State of the Art LCCA Procedures Incorporating:
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Procedures Incorporating: – work zone user delay– probabilistic approach
•Very Complex•Needed Software for Actual Implementation
New Software• Very User Friendly
• Incorporates all aspects of Demo 115
• Evaluates up to four alternatives
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• Deterministic or probabilistic mode
• Recently endorsed by FHWA– FHWA to become custodian and distribute!
• Training Sessions Coming
