Abstract:The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has been successfully carrying out IT-based pavement
management and maintenance on its 18,000-centerline-mile highways since 1998. To leverage GDOT’s
knowledge and experience and extend it to Georgia’s local governments (LGs), the Georgia Institute of
Technology (Georgia Tech) has developed a Computerized Pavement Condition Evaluation System for
Counties and Cities (COPACES-CC) using the most up-to-date cloud computing and mobile technologies.
GDOT’s pavement distress protocol, PACES, was adopted to facilitate the transfer of GDOT’s knowledge and
experience to LGs. In the meantime, a windshield-survey-based distress protocol, PASER, was also
incorporated as an alternative survey method. To make sure the developed system could be successfully
implemented in all LGs, a user group formed by three pilot counties has conducted comprehensive testing and
implementation. A total of 300 miles of pavements have been surveyed by these pilot counties using
COPACES-CC. Their successful experience has been shared with other counties and cities in a statewide
workshop that is organized by GDOT’s Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). Further study and
development are also suggested.
