Pavement management systems rely on a lot of data, which is essential to evaluating pavements. TRB hosteda webinar on Thursday, April 9 that explored how construction history data, such as pavement maintenance, preservation, and rehabilitation activities, may enhance pavement management. Presenters discussed how construction history data impacts the evaluation of project-specific treatments, helps identify potential design or materials issues, and can be used to calibrate pavement performance condition models. A further complication is that non-pavement management staff often maintain construction history, so presenters also discussed how to obtain, integrate, and coordinate with maintenance and construction offices.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Pavement Management Systems.

The webinar slides and a recording are now available.
