Student Data Analysis Contest
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is pleased to announce the Long-Term Infrastructure Performance (LTIP) Student Data Analysis Contest, designed to encourage university students to use pavement or bridge performance data to study the various factors affecting pavement and bridge lifecycles, and to develop a technical paper to document their research. The LTIP Student Data Analysis Contest encourages undergraduate and graduate students to use pavement data from LTPP InfoPave™ or bridge data from LTBP InfoBridge™ to research topics in these areas and explore a career in pavement or bridge engineering. For more information on this contest and how to participate, please see the LTIP Student Data Analysis Contest Guidelines.
Below is a list of past winning papers using the LTPP data.
