The estimation of current highway and bridge needs along with the future performance and conditional effects resulting from alternative policies and funding scenarios is an important engineering function. This function was accomplished in North Carolina by using the statewide data base and analytical procedures in the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Various study applications of HPMS have been tested to verify and identify performance characteristics, operational statistics, trend lines, and improvement needs over time. HPMS studies were also used to establish investment-performance relationships for each highway functional classification. Collectively, HPMS study results provide a general assessment of the condition, safety, and service components for the North Carolina system of roadways and bridges for any given period of analysis. HPMS study findings also provide an important informational source for highway administrators and decision makers responsible for policy evaluation and improvement program development. For that reason, an HPMS-based administrative status report of performance characteristics is scheduled to be provided annually to North Carolina highway officials.
