National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The purpose of this final rule is to establish measures for State departments of transportation (State DOT) to use to carry out the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and to assess the condition of the following: Pavements on the National Highway System (NHS) (excluding the Interstate System), bridges carrying the NHS which includes on- and off-ramps connected to the NHS, and pavements on the Interstate System. The NHPP is a core Federal-aid highway program that provides support for the condition and performance of the NHS and the construction of new facilities on the NHS. The NHPP also ensures that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a State's asset management plan for the NHS. This final rule establishes regulations for the new performance aspects of the NHPP that address measures, targets, and reporting. The FHWA is in the process of creating a new public Web site to help communicate the national performance story. The Web site will likely include infographics, tables, charts, and descriptions of the performance data that State DOTs report to FHWA. The FHWA issues this final rule based on sec. 1203 of MAP-21, which identifies national transportation goals and requires the Secretary to promulgate rules to establish performance measures and standards in specified Federal-aid highway program areas.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Pavement smoothness (or roughness) is used by state highway agencies for monitoring network condition and other purposes such as assessing construction quality and optimizing investments in preservation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. States are also required to report the International Roughness Index (IRI) as an element of the federal Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Because IRI is not measured directly but is calculated as the mechanical response of a generic quarter-car, traveling at 50 mph, to the elevation profile of the roadway, there are concerns about using current practices for estimating roughness of low-speed and urban roads. Because of the unique features of low-speed and urban roads, research was needed to identify or, if necessary, develop means for appropriately measuring, characterizing and reporting pavement roughness of these roads. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 914: Measuring, Characterizing, and Reporting Pavement Roughness of Low-Speed and Urban Roads reviews the practices for roughness measurement and the unique features of urban and low-speed roadways, and it evaluates the use of existing inertial profilers for such measurements. The report also proposes revisions to American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials standard specifications and practices addressing inertial profiler certification and operations.

This study was to investigate current practice, select the best techniques, and recommend equipment and methodology suitable for pavement condition evaluation. It consisted of visits to chosen States to determine pavement properties that can be measured and provide data for management decisions. The information collected was supplemented with a literature search and a limited firsthand review of equipment in use. The recommended roadway property measurements needed for pavement condition evaluation as inputs to pavement management systems are skid resistance, roughness, structural capacity, and pavement distress used to assist in pavement repair strategy. Suggestions on data processing, storage, and retrieval are also given in the report.

Paper 1: An analysis is presented of some 6,000 mi of pavement profile obtained by the Michigan pavement performance study in the 3-year period of 1958-59-60. Paper 2: Using the criterion of pavement condition as defined in this paper, it is possible to estimate the dynamic force that one wheel of a vehicle will exert on a highway. Paper 3: The method used to measure road profile and techniques used to establish the accuracy of these measurements are described. Paper 4: Various modifications made by Illinois are described in constructing its roadometer as well as the tests in which it has been subjected and its use in rating Illinois pavements under the present serviceability concept following correlation of the device with the AASHO road test profilometer.

The purpose of this study was to prepare guidelines that can be used by state level pavement management engineers to help them perform their work more effectively. One of the key activities covered is how to deal with evolving technologies that affect data collection, storage, and presentation process.
