Abstract:

In 1983 the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation implemented a systematic technique to analyze and manage Pennsylvania pavements (STAMPP), its first complete pavement management system. With STAMPP as the foundation, the department has embarked on the development of a total roadway management information system (RMIS), which to become functional requires the addition of guide rail and drainage conditions. A special task force, comprised of district, county, and central office personnel developed the techniques with which to inventory and collect the condition data for guide rail and drainage facilities, assigned treatment strategies and related costs to deficient conditions, and proposed methods for implementing identified survey results. The result is a more complete roadway management system, which allows department management to more effectively manage approximately 43,000 mi of highway pavements, shoulders, and appurtenances.
