HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE MONITORING SYSTEM ANALYTICAL PROCESS APPLICATION TO KENTUCKY'S ADEQUACY PROGRAM

The usefulness and applicability of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) analytical process to Kentucky's Adequacy Rating program were examined. Noncompatibility of final ratings of highway sections from the Adequacy Rating and HPMS program was a major concern resulting in the loss of credibility of either program for use in planning and programming. Therefore, the ratings from the HPMS and Adequacy programs were compared using highway sections from the HPMS and Adequacy data files to determine the similarities in methodologies in order to select one common tool for systems- and project-level analysis. Appraisal rates and weights for the different components of rating from the HPMS software were changed in relation to design standards and technical project selection criteria. Four scenarios with different weights and critical accident rate as a separate data element were chosen. Ratings for 21 HPMS samples from each scenario and the Adequacy program were reviewed by an expert panel to select the most appropriate scenario for use by the Kentucky Department of Highways as the standard procedure for the HPMS and Adequacy Rating program. The expert panel recommended using Scenario 1 without the critical accident rate as the standard procedure.
