Located on a 309-acre site, NCAT's Test Track is a 1.7-mile oval where research is conducted on experimental asphalt pavements. The track consists of 46 test sections, each 200 feet long, funded through a cooperative effort between highway agencies and industry sponsors. Research experiments-whether on single test sections or groups-help agencies confidently implement new technologies, ultimately saving millions of dollars in transportation infrastructure... Pavement Preservation Studies: Sections used to evaluate long-term durability and effectiveness of different preservation techniques... Performance is continuously monitored for rutting, fatigue cracking, roughness, texture, friction, and noise.
