• Improved CAT Resources

The improved CAT resources are now active. An entire extra compute instance is now available for use in running CAT-related designs.

ARA provided training in use of the PMED and BcT program web applications to the Arizona DOT in late September under an AASHTOWare service unit agreement. The Arizona DOT is aggressively pursuing full implementation of the PMED web application for future pavement designs.

PMED users are encouraged to check out “The Designer’s Corner” video shorts which will help users with common design questions and issues. They are currently posted here: https://pavementmedesign.com/MEDesign/Content/ Webinars, under “The Designer’s Corner” tab.
