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.
