MAPIL: Where Innovation Happens

Thinkers Developing Creative Solutions for Intelligent Infrastructures and Smart Materials Design

Located near historic Jesse Hall in the heart of the University of Missouri campus, MAPIL is a home to some of the most advanced thinkers in the asphalt industry.

We use state-of-the-art lab tests, equipment, and technologies (including artificial intelligence and machine learning), to design products and publish discoveries related to asphalt materials, flexible and composite pavements, and smart transportation infrastructure.
