Abstract

The Long Term Pavement Monitoring study in 1982, the Department identified several short and long range goals. The goals could only be achieved through pavement performance monitoring and the development of a pavement management system. The primary goal was the development of a management tool to evaluate existing primary road system short and long range rehabilitation and improvement needs. Improved methods of selecting cost effective project concepts were required. Pavement monitoring was needed to evaluate various construction, maintenance and funding strategies. Long term goals included the evaluation of the performance of various highway pavement designs, materials, construction methods, and maintenance procedures. Improved identification of safety improvement projects and a measure of their effectiveness could be achieved through a pavement management system.
