Episode 15: Prepare for takeoff The Drive Forward Podcast

Stop and think about it. When’s the last time you boarded a flight and gave much consideration of the pavement beneath you? No need, right? That’s all thanks to civil engineers like Dallas Little, a professor at Texas A&M, who ensures we’re ready for takeoff.

Join Little on the latest episode of The Drive Forward Podcast as he highlights the ins and outs of pavement materials like asphalt, concrete and bitumen, and why their applications are vastly different when it comes to roadways and runways.

Little shares how the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Illinois Autonomous and Connected Track, a high-speed, multimodal connected and autonomous track in Rantoul, Illinois, will be an “opportunity to really validate” ongoing pavement research for future transportation.
