Abstract:This report provides the background for the development of a pavement management system for the paved roads of Virginia's secondary highway system. Included are descriptions of a study to develop an acceptable surface-condition rating system for surface-treated (chip-sealed) pavements, a pilot application of the system, and an assessment of the resources required to implement the system. The system developed includes a means to capture data for ordinary or routine maintenance needs. A further part of this study involved a comparative analysis of the allocation of resurfacing monies on the basis of(1) a historical5-year program, (2) a 100 percent sampling approach, and (3) a 5 percent random sampling approach. Among the major recommendations are to proceed with full implementation of the system, including the provision of the needed resources; to use data from the system to determine the amount and allocation of the secondary resurfacing budget; and to capture data on ordinary maintenance needs for at least one cycle of pavement condition ratings.
