Planning aid only. This forecast maps the 7-day air-temperature forecast (Open-Meteo) to a practice category through fixed temperature thresholds (<25 °F = FRD, 25 to 32 °F = transition, 32 to 40 °F = SWR, >40 °F = NRM). The displayed stiffness is a temperature-driven seasonal index, not a site-specific or single-depth modulus and not an average of the zone’s sites; in warm months every zone reads the same summer baseline, and the index separates the zones only during freeze and thaw. For the current and historical state of pavement stiffness, use the Pavement Stiffness service.

7-Day Predicted Temperature & Stiffness — Zone 5
Vib-Net 7-day stiffness forecast

Predicted pavement resilient modulus over the next seven days

The same multimodal model (1-D CNN on acceleration, 2-D CNN on its spectrogram, and a temperature encoder, gated together) described in Chapter 4 of the Final Report is applied to each instrumented station's most recent accelerometer trace. The model is re-evaluated at each day's forecasted surface temperature from the WisDOT-zone forecast above, so the curve below is the field-data Vib-Net prediction projected forward.

Vib-Net is a preliminary accelerometer-based model; it runs only at the few instrumented sites and is distinct from the temperature-index zone values above. Loading /api/vibnet/stiffness-forecast/ ...
