Abstract

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) organized the 13th International Conference on Low Volume Roads which was hosted by the Iowa County Engineers Association in Cedar Rapids, IA on July 23 to 26 in 2023. The conference featured the latest information about low volume road management, design, construction, safety, maintenance, and many other related topics. At this conference, those who administer, plan, design, build, or maintain low volume roads learned innovative ways of managing low volume road systems. The conference was organized for practitioners worldwide in local, tribal, state, and federal agencies; universities; private firms; and international organizations. The focus of the conference was to share research, case studies, and real experiences from transportation professionals who study and work with low volume roads around the world. A technology exchange on Low Volume Road Design, Construction and Maintenance held concurrently with the 13th International Conference on Low Volume Roads represented a unique opportunity for pooled fund members to learn from practitioners and researchers worldwide on new technologies, engineering, practice and research related to low volume roads within their own states. The technical program of the conference was organized by TRB and the Low Volume Roads Committee. The pooled fund coordinated technology exchange activities concurrently with the conference.
