What is Pavement Temperature?

Pavement temperature refers to the temperature of the surface of a road or pavement. It is typically higher than the air temperature due to the absorption of heat from the sun. Understanding pavement temperature is important for various applications, including road maintenance, construction, and safety.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula to calculate the Pavement Temperature:

\[ PT = 85 + 30 = 115 \text{ °F} \]

The Pavement Temperature is 115 °F.
