🛣️ Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Tool

Welcome to the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Tool for Highways and Airports! This application is designed to assist engineers and researchers in designing and evaluating pavement structures based on traffic, material, and environmental data.

🚀 Features

Input Data: Upload or manually input traffic, climate, subgrade, and material data.
Pavement Design: Define pavement layers, material properties, and costs.
Simulation: Analyze pavement performance under various conditions.
Lifecycle Cost Analysis (LCCA): Evaluate the economic efficiency of pavement designs.
Results Visualization: View performance predictions, cost analysis, and pavement design details with interactive charts.
Report Generation: Create and download detailed reports in PDF format.

🛠️ Installation

Usage

Input Data: Either upload your data using an Excel file or manually enter all the required data to proceed with the design. - Excel File: Make sure your Excel file contains sheets named 'Traffic', 'Climate', 'Subgrade' and 'Materials' with the correct columns. See instructions on the page. - Manual Entry: Alternatively, fill the forms with the respective data fields, in which the comma separated values are supported in axle loads inputs.

Design Pavement: Define the pavement layers by entering the number of layers and then configure the type and thickness of each one.

Run Simulation: Set initial costs, maintenance costs, discount rate, and analysis period to run the pavement simulation and LCCA.

View Results: Analyze the simulation results, lifecycle cost, and pavement design details through tables and charts.

Generate Report: Create a comprehensive PDF report of your analysis.
