PAVEMENT FEEDBACK DATA SYSTEM

THIS PAPER IS A CASE STUDY OF THE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PHASE OF A PAVEMENT FEEDBACK DATA SYSTEM FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS. THE PAVEMENT FEEDBACK DATA SYSTEM IS INTENDED TO COMPLEMENT THE FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN SYSTEM CURRENTLY BEING IMPLEMENTED IN 10 DISTRICTS OF THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. THERE IS A NEED TO COLLECT, STORE, AND ANALYZE CAREFULLY SELECTED PERFORMANCE DATA FROM FULL-SCALE, IN-SERVICE PAVEMENTS TO GUIDE THE DESIGN OF NEW AND RECONSTRUCTED PAVEMENTS. A SEARCH FOR AN APPROPRIATE GENERALIZED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN TERMS OF HARDWARE RESTRICTIONS, COST, RECORD FILE MANAGEMENT, AND GENERAL ADAPTABILITY WAS CONDUCTED. IN ADDITION, A RECORD CONTROL KEY OR COMMON BASE OF REFERENCE WAS STUDIED. FILE DEFINITION AND DATA STRUCTURES ARE PRESENTED IN CONCEPTUAL FORM. THE RECENT ACQUISTION OF A SPECIFIC PROPRIETARY DATA HANDLING PACKAGE, MARK IV, BY THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT RESULTED IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF STRATEGIES TO BE ADOPTED FOR PAVEMENT FEEDBACK DATA SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION.
