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."
