Title:

PAVEMENT MARKING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (PAMAS)

Accession Number:

00745752

Record Type:

Monograph

Abstract:

This digest contains a brief description of and the operating instructions for a computer program that simplifies the semiquantitative process for measuring the engineering performance, environmental performance, including the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and health concerns, including an evaluation of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), of various classes of conventional pavement marking materials used for highway stripes. This computer program is especially timely because the United States Environmental Protection Agency is expected to regulate the permissible amounts of VOCs in paints and coatings early in 1998. This regulation might proscribe the use of most presently available solvent-borne paints and some water-based paints.
