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 ; presents the framework for replacing the current RSL terminology with one based on more exact construction event ; terms. A companion document provides step-by-step guidelines for implementing the RSI terminology."
