Abstract
The two Type B studies that were initiated at both TTI and the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) have the following objectives: a. Prepare a monitoring work plan for a minimum of twenty (20) years; b. List the projects and pavement sections to be included in the initial monitoring effort; c. List the dependent and independent variables to be monitored; d. Establish a standard data collection and coding format; e. Make recommendations on a data management system to be used by both Texas Transportation Institute and the Center for Transportation Research for consistency between agencies; f. Suggest the composition of a Pavement Data User Committee and criteria for acceptance of pavement sections into the monitoring effort, to include both experimental pavement selection criteria and cross-sectional pavement selection criteria; and g. Prepare cost estimates for each phase of the work plan.|The standard data collection and coding format that will be established as objective (d) above, will be guided by the most recent version of the Federal Highway Administration's "Long-Term Pavement Monitoring Program Data Collection Guide," and modified to accommodate the pavement evaluation techniques developed in Study 2-18-71-151. Where required, detailed crack surveys will be performed, as required in the TTI projects on the Evaluation of Fabric Underseals and on Asphalt Rubber Binders. Each of these are described in detail in the report.
