NEW JERSEY PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT STUDY. FINAL REPORT

This report describes the results of an eight year study undertaken to develop an improved pavement management program for New Jersey. It details the steps undertaken to verify the accuracy of the mileposting system, the testing and calibration of procedures and equipment to measure pavement roughness and distrss, the development of computerized data bases, and the first attempt at formally introducing engineering-economic theory into the decision-making process. The current pavement management system bases priority ranking on a weighting procedure that accounts for riding quality, surface distress, and traffic volume. Tentative mathematical models of pavement performance, cost of repair, and effect of repair have been used only to study the general effects of various possible strategies and to provide general guidance. It is recommended that several of these areas be explored further in a follow-up study.
