• Description:
  This feasibility study report discusses the present practices followed by the Department to manage some 16,000 miles of highways. The practices were defined through existing policy manuals and discussions with individuals and/or sections who have some responsibility in the pavement management processes. The major thrust towards this feasibility effort was to determine what improvements or enhancements would be necessary to upgrade the existing pavement management system.
  
  The report addresses four major deficiencies in the present system: (1) absence of a common location identifier for linking and merging various data files; (2) pavement distress measurements; (3) axle number and load distribution measurements and projections; and (4) level of maintenance reporting procedures.
  
  The report further stresses that development of the pavement management system can begin by upgrading the existing system without the necessity of starting from scratch. This can be accomplished by implementing a set of recommendations geared towards rectifying the existing deficiencies.
