Procedures for the Analysis of Pavement Condition Data. Volume 1. Project Summary Report

摘要

The project involved modifying and developing a computer program entitled 'Method for Analysis of Pavement Condition Data' (MAPCON). The MAPCON programs provide analysis paths for safety, roughness, structural capacity, and distress data for pavements. The MAPCON program was developed to aid pavement evaluators and designers. It transforms raw pavement data to a form suitable for input to a pavement management system. The report gives a description of the analysis procedures included in MAPCON and describes its use for training highway department personnel. A review and summary of current State practices for pavement evaluation is included. States DOT's were contacted to participate in the study. The MAPCON program was modified to make it more useful. The summary and recommendations include possibilities for additional development and modifications of MAPCON. The report is the first in a series. The others in the series are: Vol 2: MAPCON Users Manual and Vol 3: MAPCON Operations and Maintenance Manual.
