Abstract:

"Many important decisions are necessary in order to effectively provide and manage a pavement network. At the heart of this ; process is the prediction of needed future construction events. One approach to providing a single numeric on the condition ; of a pavement network is the use of pavement remaining service life (RSL). However, many issues exist with the current ; RSL terminology and resulting numeric that complicate proper interpretation, interagency data exchange, and use. A major ; source of uncertainty in the current RSL definition is the use of the term “life” to represent multiple points in the pavement ; construction history. The recommended path to consistency involves adopting terminology of time remaining until a defined ; construction treatment is required (i.e., RSL is replaced by remaining service interval (RSI)). The term “RSI” has the ability ; to unify the outcome of different approaches to determine needs by focusing on when and what treatments are needed and ; the service interruption created. This report provides step-by-step guidelines for implementing the RSI terminology. A ; companion report presents the framework for replacing the current RSL terminology with one based on more exact ; construction event terms."
