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.
