Abstract:
Monitoring pavement temperatures is critical to assessing the thermal behavior of
flexible pavements and determining their performance in various conditions. This
research focuses on flexible pavement temperature monitoring in Bangladesh, primarily
comparing existing pavement temperature models to actual data obtained at various
depths. The applicability of these models to the specific climate and environment of
Bangladesh can be tested by analyzing their accuracy. The study's findings will provide
insight into existing pavement temperature models' efficacy and applicability to
Bangladesh's flexible pavements. The study emphasizes inequalities and identifies
improvement opportunities in existing models by comparing predictions with actual
data. These findings can help to guide the development of more accurate and
dependable temperature models tailored particularly for Bangladesh's unique climate
and conditions. Improved pavement temperature models will improve flexible
pavement design and maintenance techniques, resulting in more durable and
sustainable infrastructure.
