Development of a Method for Establishing Resurfacing Priorities for the Pavement Management System in Indiana. Volume 2. Study Procedures and Results

摘要

The report describes a methodology for establishing resurfacing priorities at the network level that can be incorporated in the pavement management system of the Indiana Department of Highways. As a part of this methodology two optimization models were developed. As a companion tool a technique based on graphical approach was also proposed. The methodology was applied to the Indiana interstate highway network using 1982 as the base year. The results showed that Indiana's normal level of budget during the next five years can optimally resurface about 85 percent of the total center-line miles classified as deficient during this period. A sensitivity analysis on budget was also conducted.
