• Abstract:
  The Florida Department of Transportation
  
  (FDOT) has used its maintenance rating
  
  program (MRP) to evaluate the state’s
  
  highway maintenance conditions and
  
  determine asset maintenance needs since
  
  1985. Periodic evaluation of the program is
  
  valuable for determining whether and in what
  
  manner updating the MRP could enhance its
  
  performance.
  
  Researchers from the University of Central
  
  Florida analyzed the methods and procedures
  
  the MRP uses to gather and evaluate data.
  
  They compared their findings to national
  
  best practices in road maintenance needs
  
  assessment.
  
  The MRP resides within a mainframe computer
  
  environment that currently limits the
  
  assessment of entered data to true/false
  
  or yes/no choices. It has limited flexibility
  
  for including new data elements (e.g., new
  
  roadway characteristics) and currently cannot
  
  evaluate data on a graduated rating scale. The
  
  mainframe system would have to be rewritten
  
  to accommodate this type of evaluation.
  
  However, FDOT currently has a supplemental,
  
  Excel-based system to address additional data
  
  elements.
