• 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.
