• Abstract:
  Pavement markings safeguard road users, and maintaining adequate retroreflectivity is crucial for ensuring road safety. As the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) performs routine application of pavement markings, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive management program to ensure their cost-effective management. So, this report focuses on enhancing pavement marking management in Wyoming by investigating factors influencing retroreflectivity, developing predictive models for degradation over time, and establishing a comprehensive Pavement Marking Management Plan (PMMP) template that incorporates the principles of the Transportation Asset Management Plan. Binary Logistic Regression models were developed to determine the contributing factors affecting pavement marking retroreflectivity. The findings of this study indicate that factors, such as the degree of curvature of horizontal curves, location (rural or urban), material type, pavement marking color, and line position significantly affect pavement marking retroreflectivity. The degradation models provide valuable insights into the deterioration process of pavement markings over time and can assist highway agencies in prioritizing maintenance efforts. The proposed PMMP template also integrates Pavement Marking Management Systems of several state DOTs and Transportation Asset Management principles, providing project selection, budgeting, procurement, and contracting strategies.
