NCHRP Synthesis 501 on Pavement Management Systems

Have you ever wondered how your pavement management system compares to the systems in other agencies? Here’s an opportunity to find out! NCHRP just recently published a synthesis of pavement management practices in state and provincial transportation agencies. The synthesis documents recent changes in pavement management and explores current practices in using pavement management results for activities such as resource allocation, determining treatment cost-effectiveness, program development, and stakeholder outreach. Case examples showing innovative uses of pavement management data from the Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington DOTs are also included.
