Guidelines for Informing Decisionmaking to Affect Pavement Performance Measures

Publication Information

Publication Type:
Report
Publication Number:
FHWA-HRT-17-090
Abstract:

The research study that led to the guidelines contained in this report was intended to validate the proposed pavement performance measures established by the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and to demonstrate their use within asset management. The findings of the validation suggest that the performance measures established by the NPRM and ultimately required by the issuance of the Final Rule by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are appropriate, as all the metrics have an effect on overall condition and performance measures. As a result, guidelines for informing decisionmaking to affect pavement performance measures were developed, and they are presented in this report.
