Abstract:
The primary objective of this project was to develop a method to verify the calibration of and evaluate the automated pavement distress data collection equipment, specifically for the new Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) automated system. The TxDOT automated pavement distress measurement equipment will be used to provide data for the TxDOT Pavement Management Information System (PMIS).
Currently the method used to inspect pavements in Texas involves having crews (contractor, TxDOT, and Texas Transportation Institute [TTI] personnel) attend training classes to become certified inspectors for the calendar year.
