Develop a Knowledge Management System for TxDOT Pavement-Related Corporate Knowledge (0-4505-S)

This project summary report summarizes the research performed in Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-4505. The project included gathering and making available in a knowledge management system both tacit and currently documented knowledge of rigid and flexible pavement forensic methods, tools, and the valuable insights into pavement performance principles gained during forensic studies over several decades. Tacit knowledge was gathered using a structured interview process involving current and retired department personnel, as well as selected academia. A method of storing and efficiently retrieving valued information from i-Way, TxDOT's learning content management system, was also developed. Glossaries of rigid and flexible pavement forensic-related terms were developed and used in a systematic manner to properly and consistently associate key words with the information documents being stored.
