In eight weeks the Pavement Evaluation 2002 Conference will be kicking off in Roanoke, Virginia USA.  Final details are being put into place and here are some updates:

• A presentation has been added to Wednesday afternoon's session - NCHRP Synthesis 34-04 "Automated Pavement Distress Collection Techniques" by Mr. Ken McGhee. The synthesis will focus on automated pavement condition data collection and processing techniques. Information to be captured includes that on state-of-the-practice automated and semi-automated techniques including the use of both imaging and non-contact sensor equipment, the QC/QA procedures in use, the equipment and test protocols in use, and the costs and benefits of the various techniques.
• A detailed Smart Road agenda will be supplied to vendors .  This agenda will describe the facility and outline the tour.
• A pavement distress site will be established near the conference hotel.  The site will be 0.5 miles long and have varying degrees of asphalt pavement distresses.  This site will allow vendors to record pavement and right-of-way images for display at their booths.  This will help potential customers evaluate the equipment and services available.
