THE MOST IMPORTANT NEED FOR CONDITION SURVEYS OF HIGHWAYS IS TO ESTABLISH TRENDS OF PAVEMENT CONDITION WITH TIME IN ORDER THAT ADVANCE ESTIMATES OF MAINTENANCE NEEDS AND COSTS CAN BE MADE. CONDITION SURVEYS ARE ALSO NEEDED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PARTICULAR MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES. A FURTHER NEED IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PARTICULAR CONTRACTORS AND THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION. THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES SHOULD BE DETERMINED AND CONVERTED TO SPECIFIC PLANS BEFORE IT IS DECIDED WHAT DATA IS REALLY NEEDED, IN ORDER TO AVOID THE EXPENSE OF COLLECTION OF UNNECESSARY DATA.
