Tóm tắt	The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG or Pavement ME) is a modern method for designing asphalt pavements that predicts performance (rutting, cracking) using mechanistic stress analysis combined with empirical distress models. Developed by AASHTO in 2008 as a successor to the 1993 AASHTO Empirical Guide, this approach provides better accuracy and enables climate-based, site-specific design.	The Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model is a macroscopic traffic flow model that treats traffic as a compressible fluid, applying conservation of vehicles and a flow-density relationship. Introduced independently by Lighthill and Whitham (1955) and Richards (1956), the model predicts traffic wave propagation, congestion formation, and bottleneck behavior on highways.
