The results of a 4-year research study that was undertaken in Indiana are presented. The objective of the study was to develop a systematic decision-making framework to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing maintenance management practice at the subdistrict highway agency level, where detailed maintenance programs are planned and implemented. The forms of data required and the recommended basis and procedures of decision making are discussed for the following areas: (a) assessment of maintenance needs, (b) establishment of performance standards, (c) determination of the costs of maintenance treatments, (d) setting up of an integrated data base, (e) priority rating of maintenance activities, and (f) optimal programming and scheduling of maintenance activities. Examples of planning data and information obtained from the research study are presented. The proposed decision-making framework is intended to be useful as an aid to management in the planning and monitoring of highway maintenance programs to obtain improved results from better use of available resources.
