ENERGY CONSERVATION AND COST SAVINGS RELATED TO HIGHWAY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE COST ANALYSIS

This report presents the results of the research work relating routine maintenance costs with pavement characteristics. The report covers the following major items: (i) development of a comprehensive data base that combines pavement maintenance information, climatic zone, traffic information, and pavement characteristics; (ii) development of pavement maintenance rates by highway system, by pavement type, and by climatic zone; (iii) analysis of labor, material, and total expenditure trends over the last four fiscal years; (iv) correlation analysis between yearly total expenditures and that between shares of differennt activities of total expenditures; and (v) analysis of the relationship betweent he level of pavement routine maintenance and pavement characteristics.
