Description:

This research developed metrics on the amount and characteristics of tire debris generated on Texas highways. These metrics provide numerical, data-based rates for districts to anticipate the amounts and characteristics of tire debris and to plan removal operations accordingly.

The cost assessment of removal activities and safety implications provide building blocks for districts to perform economic analyses of higher complexity to assist with their decision making. Particularly, such analyses may prove useful to deciding the share of debris removal work to be let to contractors and deciding about investing in specialized equipment to improve the efficiency of debris removal activities.
