RATING UNSURFACED ROADS. A FIELD MANUAL FOR MEASURING MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS (REVISED EDITION)

This manual presents a method for managing unsurfaced roads (unpaved highways, gravel roads, low volume roads). It is designed to work with the computerized PAVER and MicroPAVER pavement management systems developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but can also be used without a computer. The method results in a rating for each section of road indicating how badly that section needs repairs. The method has three steps: (1) Dividing the road network into sections; (2) Inspecting the sections and identifying problems; and (3) Calculating ratings that indicate the condition for each section.
