      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes a computerized analysis methodology called MAPCON, which takes pavement condition data and produces results useful for pavement management.  The MAPCON system was developed during a Federal Highway Administration research project.  In the project, eight state highway departments were studied to determine the types of pavement condition data collected, procedures used for collecting data, the inputs to the States' pavement management systems, and computer programs used by the States to analyze raw pavement condition data.  Several computer programs were inherited by the project from previous research performed at the Pennsylvania State University.  These programs were tested and modified.  New programs, and other existing programs, were also identified, tested and modified.  All of these programs (a total of 18) were incorporated into a microcomputer system.  This system features menu driven program flow and fully interactive data input.  MAPCON guides the user through selection of analysis method, raw data entry, and data analysis.  The path taken by MAPCON is determined by the user's answers to questions presented on the screen.  The types of data analyzed by MAPCON include safety, serviceability, structural capacity, surface condition, or a combination of the latter three.  MAPCON presents a set of tools useful to pavement management and design engineers.  The program converts raw pavement condition data to meaningful inputs for pavement management systems.  It is available at the present time for implementation and use by highway agencies.  Due to the wide variety of existing techniques and ever-changing technology, continued support for further research and development of MAPCON is desirable.  Pavement technology is constantly changing and the MAPCON suite of analysis programs has the capabiltiy to change with the technology.]]></description>

      <title>MAPCON: A PAVEMENT EVALUATION DATA ANALYSIS COMPUTER SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/282538</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Described in this paper is a computerized pavement data analysis methodology called MAPCON.   Pavement condition data are input and results useful for pavement management are produced.  The MAPCON system was developed in a research project funded by the Federal Highway Administration.  Eight state highway departments were studied to determine their pavement data collection and analysis procedures.  New pavement analysis programs were developed, and existing programs were identified, tested, and modified.  All of these programs (a total of 18) were incorporated into a microcomputer package that features menu-driven program flow and fully interactive data input.  MAPCON guides the user through selection of analysis method, data entry, and analysis.  The path taken by MAPCON is determined by the user's answers to questions presented on the screen.  The type of data analyzed by MAPCON includes friction and skid, roughness, structural capacity, surface condition, or a combination of the last three.  MAPCON is a set of tools useful to pavement management and design engineers.  It is available for implementation and use by highway agencies. Because of the wide variety of existing pavement analysis techniques and ever-changing technology, continued support for further research and development of MAPCON is desirable. Pavement technology is also changing constantly and the MAPCON suite of analysis programs has the capability to change with the technology.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This 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.  This manual is a description of the entire MAPCON system.  It includes a discussion of how all the various components of MAPCON fit and work together. Each of the individual analysis paths is described in detail in terms of the user's needs with a summary of the theory and uses of that type of data, the required inputs and expected outputs, and an example problem run through the MAPCON system.  This manual also provides information on running large sets of batch data without using the interactive input processors.

      <title>PAVEMENT CONDITION DATA ANALYSIS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/284088</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes a computer methodology for analyzing pavement condition data to define inputs for pavement management systems.  This system of programs was developed during a Federal Highway Administration research project. In the project, eight state highway departments were studied to determine the types of pavement condition data collected, procedures used for collecting data, the inputs to the states' pavement management systems, and computer programs used by the states to analyze raw pavement condition data. Several of the programs were assembled into the Method for Analyzing Pavement Condition, MAPCON, during a project performed at Pennsylvania State University.  These and other existing or new programs (a total of 18) were identified, tested, modified, and incorporated onto a MS/DOS microcomputer system.  MAPCON guides the user through selection of analysis method, raw data entry, and data analysis.  The path taken by MAPCON is determined by user interaction.  The types of data analyzed by MAPCON include safety, serviceability, structural capacity, surface condition, or a combination of the latter three.]]></description>

      <title>METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYZING TEXTURE AND SKID RESISTANCE DATA FOR USE IN PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/189123</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Results of recent research in skid resistance have been incorporated into a methodology for use in pavement maintenance management programs by transportation agencies. The methodology, which is part of a computer program developed for the Federal Highway Administration (MAPCON), can perform the data processing to reduce and analyze the raw measurement data from various types of texture and skid resistance measurements. This paper discusses the capability and structure of the methodology.  It covers aspects of skid resistance, adjustments for seasonal and weather-related variations, side force coefficients, and the hydroplaning potential.  The use of the computer program is also discussed.  (Author)]]></description>
