AI in Pavements: Revolution or Risk? (07/16/25)

Title: AI in Pavements: Revolution or Risk?
Speaker: Jhony Habbouche, Ph.D., P.E., Western Regional Engineer, Asphalt Institute

Leveraging Machine Learning in Balanced Mix Design

This presentation will explore the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in pavement engineering, with a spotlight on how machine learning (ML) could reshape the way we approach asphalt mixture design. Through a real-world case study, attendees will learn how ML models can be used to predict key balanced mix design (BMD) performance metrics, including durability, cracking resistance, and rutting susceptibility. Whether AI represents a revolution or a risk in pavement engineering—join us to decide for yourself!
