The first phase of a comprehensive study to identify potential cost and energy savings in routine maintenance activities on the state highway system in Indiana is described. In this phase the current highway routine maintenance standards of the Indiana Department of Highways were reviewed and updated based on data collected in the field, and guidelines for estimating equipment fuel consumption were established. The needs for different resources (materials, labor, and equipment) used in various routine maintenance activities (types, rates of consumption, and frequencies of use) were identified. Energy consumed in each activity was determind as the number of gallons of fuel required to produce one production unit of an activity. The preliminary data analysis indicated that there is a potential for considerable cost and energy savings through better assignment of equipment in different activities. The information developed in this phase can be used directly by the Indiana Department of Highways in preparing their annual maintenance program.
