HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT RESEARCH PROJECT

THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE WAS TO DEVELOP IMPROVED METHODS OF CONDUCTING EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY STUDYING THE METHODS USED BY THE STATE'S MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND THE RESULTANT PRODUCTIVITY AND COMPARING THESE METHODS WITH THOSE OF OTHER STATES. TRAINING MATERIALS INCORPORATING THE BEST OF ARKANSAS'S METHODS WITH OTHER IDEAS WERE DEVELOPED AND TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF THE MAINTENANCE DIVISION. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION WERE STUDIED UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS TO DETERMINE THE BEST MEANS OF CONVEYING INFORMATION ACQUIRED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. EVALUATION PROCEDURES WERE SET UP ON A RELATIVE PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY BASIS, ESTABLISHING A SOLID BASIS OF COMPARISON FOR JUDGING ACCOMPLISHMENT AMONG THE RANKS OF MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. /FHWA/
