Title:
CASE STUDY OF BENEFITS ACHIEVED FROM IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF PAVEMENT FACILITIES
Accession Number:
00648205
Abstract:
Benefits to both the highway agency and the traveling public are significant when an effective pavement management system is used. Benefits to highway users related to improved long-term rehabilitation programming decision making are presented as a case study for the Chicago metropolitan freeway network. The vehicle kilometers traveled on pavements in good condition increased 20% over an ad hoc rehabilitation selection method when a simple ranking method was used and 260% when the incremental benefit cost method was used to select rehabilitation projects over a 10-year period for the same annual level of funding. The direct consideration of benefits in the management of a highway network will provide an opportunity for improved communication between engineers, policy makers, and funding authorities concerning the most appropriate method to develop a multiyear rehabilitation program.
