• Abstract:
  The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) was developed by the Federal Highway Administration to collect sample data on the public highway system in the United States and to provide information to the U.S. Congress and others on the current status of the highway system and future needs. This report covers a detailed examination of the HPMS sample data for possible use in estimating Texas's needs. The report presents the results of a simulation model used to estimate the accuracy of various sample sizes and stratification strategies. They are compared to the assumed accuracy, to make recommendations on the sample size required to make needs estimates at the district level in Texas. The report also gives some comparisons of the HPMS construction costs with estimates of Texas construction costs.
