Two roads can look the same on the surface and need completely different treatment strategies.

That’s why structural pavement data matters.

At the 2026 TSDD Symposium in Kansas City, the ICC-IMS team will be talking about how traffic-speed deflection data can help agencies better understand what’s happening beneath the pavement surface.

For public works and transportation teams, that can mean better decisions around preservation timing, rehabilitation strategies, capital planning, and identifying structural weakness before it becomes a bigger problem.

The goal isn’t more data. It’s better information to help agencies make smarter, more defensible pavement decisions.

If you’ll be at TSDD next week, connect with Chase Fleeman and Rafael Chaves. They’d love to compare notes on what you’re seeing in the field.
