LTPPBind Online A web-based tool integrated into LTPP InfoPaveTM.
PG grade based on pavement temperature, rut depth, reliability, traffic magnitude and speed (same as LTPPBind 3.1).
Compare PGs between AASHTO M320-10 and AASHTO M332-14 standards.
Uses climatic data from MERRA, LTPP CLM, and user input.

Low Temperature PG Selection
TL,pav = Low asphalt concrete pavement temperature at surface, ºC Tair = Low air temperature, ºC Lat = Latitude of the section, degrees H = Depth to surface, mm σ2
Tair = Standard deviation of the mean low air temperature, ºC Z = Standard normal distribution value 2.055 for 98 percent reliability
Based on LTPP Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP):

High Temperature PG Selection Using Rutting Damage Model
PGH,d = PG damage at a rut depth DD = Average Yearly Degree-Days Air Temp. Over 10 ºC, x1000ºC RD = Rut depth (5–13 mm)

Estimate PG Variability
CVPG = Yearly PG coefficient of variation, percent
Minimal effect for latitudes less than 20o or rut depths less than 7.632 mm.

Adjust PG for Reliability
PGH,rel = PG at a reliability level Z, ºC DD = Average Yearly Degree-Days Air Temp. Over 10ºC, x1000

PG Bumping for Heavy Traffic Adjustment Factor Adj
PGn = PGs + Adj Adj = PG adjustments for a site PGn = PG at a specific traffic loading and speed PGs = PG at standard loading (3 million axles) and high speed
