Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology

At the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology (CPATT), we strive to find solutions to help the industry and the transportation authorities in Canada to build more sustainable and resilient transportation infrastructure through the innovation in construction materials, structural design and asset management approaches. The following themes represent our current research portfolio: Incorporating Sustainability into Pavement Design, Construction, Maintenance and Management Climate Change Impacts on Long Life Infrastructure Life Cycle Economic Analysis in Public and Private Sector Infrastructure Smart Pavement Materials And Structures for the Road of the Future (Nanomaterials, Self-Healing Materials, Phase-Change Materials, Anti-oxidants, Solar Pavements, Lightweight Aggregates, ..) Optimization of the Use of Recycled and Alternative Materials in Sustainable Infrastructure Systems Advanced Testing Methods and Characterization Techniques of Infrastructure Construction Materials CPATT is a partnership between universities, the public sector, and the private sector. Our board of directors, composed of experts from the academia, industry and transportation authorities, meets regularly to set the goals and define our research roadmap. We hope that you will find a lot of useful information about our research team and projects on our website and our newsletters. If you have any ideas or questions about our research, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
