  • Abstract:
    The capacity and condition of highways has been deteriorating due to low maintenance budgets, environmental effects, poor weather conditions, and a rapid growth in the use of highways by consumers. It has become increasingly important to take steps that would both meet the nation’s needs and satisfy consumers; however, allocating more funds for pavement rehabilitation or reconstruction is not the solution (NCPP 2010). Instead, most agencies have begun to allocate funds for pavement preservation. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), pavement preservation is “a program employing a network level, long-term strategy that enhances pavement performance by using an integrated, cost-effective set of practices that extend pavement life, improve safety and meet motorist expectations.” The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has already begun a Pavement Preservation Initiative. The two main objectives of this research are: 1) to determine the benefits of pavement preservation techniques; and 2) how much budget to allocate for these activities.
