Abstract:

Preventive maintenance has the potential to improve network condition by retarding future pavement deterioration. This ; report outlines guidelines for implementing a preventive maintenance policy for bituminous pavements. ; Preventive maintenance treatments currently being used in Virginia include chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, and thin ; hot mix asphalt overlays. Historical pavement condition data were obtained from the Virginia Department of Transportation’s ; Pavement Management System for these treatments, and treatment performance models were developed. A district-level ; treatment selection tool was developed to facilitate the district-level decision-making process. A prioritized list of pavement ; sections was generated, maximizing the cost-effectiveness of the selected treatments subject to budgetary constraints set by the ; Central Office. As a pilot implementation, the treatment selection tool was then run for each pavement classification in each ; district. The results of this pilot suggest that this selection tool has the potential to be a practical decision support tool.
