• Abstract:
  Faced with continuously increasing maintenance due to aging infrastructure, the Texas Department of ; Transportation (TxDOT) is evaluating the potential impact of reduced funding on highway safety. The main ; objective of this report is to develop a methodological procedure to identify threshold levels of pavement skid ; resistance for highways in the context of traffic crashes, assisting TxDOT Administration and engineers in ; making proper maintenance decisions. As a result, the efficiency and safety of the highway system could be ; preserved. The scope of this study covers all types of state-maintained highways in Texas.
