Pavement Management Report Codes

Definition of Codes Used in Pavement Management Reports

REPORT FORMAT

This report is split into two primary sections.
Each individual section rated by the Pavement Condition Survey contains a block represented by up to 6 lines.
The left one-third of the page contains general information about the rated section, the most recent resurfacing or capacity construction project, and any upcoming planned resurfacing or capacity construction.
The right two-thirds of the page contains the most recent 26 years of distress ratings history.
A forecasted rating 6 years in the future (the fifth year of the new five-year work program) shown in the last column.
   (REG) indicates forecasting by linear regression and is used before more detailed models are developed.
   (PMRS) indicates PaveMARS forecasting by quadratic regression (Cracking) or linear regression (Ride).

GENERAL & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT INFORMATION

RDWYID
Roadway Identification Number assigned by DOT to a section of road.
It consists of county (2 digits), section (3 digits), and subsection (3 digits).
Each unique roadway is separated by a horizontal bar.

BMP
Rated section Beginning Milepost.

EMP

RW    (line 1)
Side of Roadway.
   C = Non-divided roadway.
   R = Right / Upstation (divided roadways).
   L = Left / Downstation (divided roadways).
On C roadways, the direction in the worst condition is rated.
R and C values are listed first and are sorted in ascending milepost order.
L values follow and are sorted in descending milepost order.
Each unique roadway is separated by a horizontal bar.

SYSTEM
Highway System Code.
Managed Lanes assume the code of the corresponding mainline system.
   1 = Arterial (Untolled)
   3 = Tolled Arterial
   4 = Interstate
   5 = Turnpike

TYPE
Pavement rating type code.
   1 = Asphalt pavement
   2 = Surface treatment
   3 = Skin patch
   4 = Portland cement concrete pavement
   5 = Newly constructed pavement
   6 = Defect rating only (too short to get ride rating)
   7 = Newly overlaid pavement
   8 = Section under construction, not rated
   9 = Bridge; not rated pavement

SPD
Predominant posted speed limit.

SR
State Road Number.

US
US Route Number, if applicable.
Interstate routes are indicated with an I preceeding the number (e.g. I110).

G_BMP
Expressway green bar (mile marker) Beginning Milepost.

G_EMP
Expressway green bar (mile marker) Ending Milepost.

LN
Predominant number of through lanes.

%T
% of AADT represented by trucks.

AADT
Annual Average Daily Traffic Volume (two way).

INTERSECT AT (MP|SIDE)
Nearest side road, its milepost and side of intersection.

SURFTYPE
Surface type of friction course.
   The complete list may be requested by sending an email to the Pavement Management section

ITMSEG-P
Work Program Item Segment number for most recent resurfacing or capacity construction project.

ITMSEG-F
Work Program Item Segment number for the next programmed resurfacing or capacity construction project.

W_BMP
Work Program project Beginning mile point.

W_EMP
Work Program project Ending mile point.

RW    (lines 4 & 6)
Work Program project roadway side.
Codes do not necessarily indicate divided roadway status.
   R = Work occurring on Right / Upstation side
   L = Work occurring on Left / Downstation side
   C = Work occurring on both sides of the roadway

FY-P
Fiscal year of project letting for most recent resurfacing or capacity construction project.

FY-F
Fiscal year of project letting for the next programmed resurfacing or capacity construction project.

WKMX-P
Work Mix Number for most recent resurfacing or capacity construction project.
   See description of Work Mix Numbers below

WKMX-F
Work Mix Number for the next programmed resurfacing or capacity construction project.
   See description of Work Mix Numbers below

CONTRACTOR
Paving contractor associated with with previous project Work Program Item Segment number.

AGE_ONE YEAR
Survey year when pavement was 1 yr old (first survey after construction/repaving).

ASTYPE
Asphalt Type.
   S = Type S
   SP = SuperPave

DISTRESS RATINGS HISTORY

Each section of pavement is rated for cracking (including raveling and patching) and ride on a 0-10 scale, with 0 the worst and 10 the best.
Deficient ratings are marked by an asterisk.

CRACKING
A measure of the total extent (percent of lane area affected) and predominant severity (average width) of pavement cracking identified in the section.
The highest severity class also includes raveling (loss of aggregate pieces from open-graded pavement) and patching (pavement repairs to cover up defects).
Crack ratings are obtained from pavement surface imagery collected using Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) 3D technology.
Cracking and raveling identification and severity classification is performed using machine learning processes.
Both flexible (asphalt) and rigid (Portland cement concrete) pavements are rated in 0.1 intervals.
Any crack rating of 6.4 or less is considered deficient pavement.

RIDE
A measure of the pavement smoothness.
Rating value is correlated from International Roughness Index (IRI) values collected in each wheel path and averaged.
For speed limits greater than or equal to 50 MPH, a ride rating of 6.4 or less is considered deficient. For speed limits less than 50 MPH, a ride rating of 5.4 or less is considered deficient.
