EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF SURVEY SPEED ON NETWORK-LEVEL COLLECTION OF RIGID-PAVEMENT DISTRESS DATA

This report present the description of an experiment conducted to study the effect of the average speed at which rigid-pavement condition surveys are performed on the accuracy of the distress information collected. Analyses of variance were carried out on the data gathered from continuously reinforced concrete (CRC) and jointed reinforced concrete (JRC) pavements. Personnel from the CTR and the Texas SDHPT participated in the field experiment, which permitted the evaluation of the effect of training or experience of the surveyors on the quality of the distress data collected.
