Pavement marking management system database;Project title: Development of field performance evaluation tools and program for pavement marking materials;
Pavement markings play a critical role in maintaining a safe and efficient driving environment for road users, especially during nighttime conditions. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) spends millions of dollars each year for installation and maintenance of pavement markings. In order to ensure that pavement markings remain effective, the highway agencies maintain them regularly by replacing the old markings. Therefore, selecting proper pavement marking materials (PMMs) that can maintain an acceptable level of functional performance over a longer period of time can lead to significant cost savings while maintaining safety. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the current performance specifications used by TxDOT and other users and to develop improved performance specifications reflecting the performance capabilities of existing materials.
