This study identifies flaws in thermal segregation assessment methods, suggesting refined evaluation approaches to improve pavement quality.

Current methods for assessing thermal segregation do not accurately predict pavement quality, undermining evaluations.
Field evaluations revealed that severe thermal segregation profiles with temperature differences over 50°F often indicate moderate issues.
The proposed thermal segregation risk index offers a more accurate representation of temperature distribution in pavements.
Refined evaluation methods should consider both absolute temperatures and relative differentials for better pavement assessments.

Kim et al. (2025) studied this question.
