Planning Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects in the New Pavement Management System in Texas

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) manages a network of over 197,000 lane miles. Optimum management of the pavement can lead to improved performance at lower costs. TxDOT invested significant effort to develop a new generation pavement management system in the past two years. The new state of the art pavement management system integrates the engineering experience and research results of over three decades at TxDOT. The capacity of the system includes data archival, database management, mapping, reporting, performance prediction and optimization analysis for decision makers. This paper shows how the new system was used to plan, optimize, analyze, and evaluate pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects. The advanced analytical functionality of the system is highlighted. As an initial step the new system was used to replace the current four-year plan reporting methodology utilized by TxDOT. The results demonstrate that the new system can serve as an effective tool in support for decision makers, pavement engineers, budget planners, and administrators.
