Application and Validation of Remaining Service Interval Framework for Pavements

The pavement remaining service interval (RSI) terminology was developed to remove confusion caused by the multitude of meanings assigned to the various forms of pavement remaining service life (RSL). The RSI concept considers the complete maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) activity of the pavement system and does not simply consider the end of life as promulgated by the RSL philosophy. The goal of this project was to demonstrate and further develop the application of the pavement RSI concept using real data from two State pavement management systems and the Highway Performance Monitoring System 2010+ dataset. Project-level analysis addressed gaps in the network- and strategic-level analyses. The results from the validation efforts support the conclusion that the RSI represents a valid approach to determining and communicating future M&R needs of a pavement instead of defining pavement life using a single number as in RSL. Those results also show that RSL is essentially not related to the time until the next pavement treatment in an optimal strategy.
