🛣️ 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.

The app is available at: https://pavement-design-app.streamlit.app/

---

🚀 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.

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.
