• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the findings of the first phase of LTRC research project 04-2P, which is sponsored by LADOTD. ; The project is assessing the current status and the state-of-the-practice of the LADOTD pavement management system ; (PMS). Results of the assessment would help LADOTD accomplish its overall objective in developing a cost-effective ; pavement preservation strategy to improve the pavement condition, as stated in the “Louisiana-Vision 2020”. During the ; course of the study, various components of the PMS were evaluated. A detailed survey of all district engineers was ; conducted to establish the needs of each district. Based on the survey results and assessment of the current PMS ; practices, the research team collaborated with LADOTD’s PMS engineers to make various conclusions and ; recommendations. The key efforts of the research team during the first phase of the study included the following: ; ?? A review of the-state-of-the-practice of LADOTD’s PMS. The review included, but was not limited to, the current ; highway classification system, the reference location systems, the distress data collection and storage practices, other ; data available in the department, deduct points, distress indices and remaining service life calculations, and projectand ; network-level reports. ; ?? A survey of all districts engineers to address the needs of the districts. The survey addressed various issues including ; the types of reports and their accessibility, the utility of the PMS outputs, the existing location reference systems, the ; various pavement preservation actions, and the degrees to which the PMS users fully understand the benefits and the ; potential cost savings that can be precipitated by using the PMS data. ; The investigators believe that the results of this study will enhance the PMS capabilities in managing pavements and ; facilitate better communication among various PMS data users and decision makers.
