Abstract:

This research project comprehensively reviewed the state departments of transportation’s (DOTs) practices on

selecting and inspecting pavement marking materials (PMMs) and evaluated pavement marking

retroreflectivity data collected on the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Test Deck and the

National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) test decks. A methodology was developed to

enhance the reliability of pavement marking retroreflectivity analysis by systematically identifying and

removing retroreflectivity data with irregular variability, such as inconsistent retroreflectivity along the same

section, as well as irregular temporal jumps in retroreflectivity. Statistical models were further developed to

predict the retroreflectivity and expected service life of selected PMMs. Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was

then conducted to calculate the expected life-cycle cost of each type of material. Results of the comprehensive

review and data analysis were finally integrated into a Pavement Marking Handbook for GDOT to have a

standardized and consistent reference for selecting and inspecting PMMs. An interactive tutorial was also

developed to enhance the content of the Handbook through interactive means such as images, videos, and user

inputs.
