• Abstract:
  This study developed Daily Work Report (DWR) based prediction models to determine reasonable ; production rates of controlling activities of highway projects. The study used available resources such as ; DWR, soil data, AADT and other existing project data from the various divisions of ODOT as primary ; source in estimating productivity. The study describes the effects and variations of production rates of ; highway activities to changes in environmental, geographical and project site conditions. The study also ; includes a relative comparison between a survey of experts’ estimate of production rate and DWR based ; prediction models. An Excel based standalone software program developed for ODOT engineers and ; schedulers to estimate reasonably accurate production rates is also presented in the study. ; The output of this model would allow ODOT engineers and schedulers to improve their accuracy and ; save their time in determining more reliable production rates of major highway construction activities by ; easily adjusting site conditions and project factors. The program will help ODOT to determine ; appropriate contract times of Tier II highway projects which would enhance better planning of resources, ; reduce construction cost, minimize the construction crew’s exposure to traffic, reduce the inconvenience ; to the public, track project progress and future estimating and bidding guidelines. This study will not only ; allow ODOT to be equipped with a streamlined procedure for determining production rates of highway ; construction activities, but will also be a framework and a benchmarking example to other highway ; agencies.
