USE OF ROAD LIFE DATA IN TEXAS

This report describes the existing system for obtaining historical roadway data in Texas, the problems with attempting to use the automated road life data, and the need for access to these data for the pavement management activities of the Department. The report addresses the manual processing and flow of road life data from the initial request for a construction job to the automated historical data files and makes recommendations for improving the flow of data to provide a more complete and current profile of the roadway for pavement management.
