HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE GAME: A MANUAL SIMULATION MODEL FOR TRAINING MAINTENANCE CREWS

A manual simulation procedure was developed to supplement highway maintenance training in Louisiana. The game was designed with emphasis on the planning and scheduling of activities in order to train first-line administrators by simulating the performance of one week's work. This method appears to be effective on the basis of administration of the training package in four districts. Plans are being made to refine and automate this concept to better train maintenance supervisors.
