Research Sponsors
NCAT Test Track Sponsorship
The NCAT Test Track is funded and managed as a cooperative project. Representatives from each research sponsor are onsite while test sections are being built to provide oversight and ensure that as-built properties best meet their needs.
Highway agencies and industry sponsors can:
- Explore specific research needs evaluated in one or two test sections.
- Contribute to pooled fund experiments addressing broader asphalt pavement research.
The results of these experiments are typically evident in the performance of the sections, making findings easy to interpret. This gives highway agency sponsors confidence in making data-driven decisions for:
- Specifications for materials, mixes, and construction practices
- Pavement design methods to improve roadway performance
Industry sponsors can use the track to publicly and convincingly demonstrate their products or technologies to the pavement engineering community.
Test section sponsorship is open to both public and private participation.
