ACR-PCR method

The Aircraft Classification Rating (ACR) - Pavement Classification Rating (PCR) method is a standardized international airport pavement rating system developed by ICAO in 2022. The method is scheduled to replace the ACN-PCN method as the official ICAO pavement rating system by November 2024. The method uses similar concepts as the ACN-PCN method, however, the ACR-PCR method is based on layered elastic analysis, uses standard subgrade categories for both flexible and rigid pavement, and eliminates the use of alpha factor and layer equivalency factors.
