An effective highway transportation planning process is the basis for, and is a necessary continuous part of efficient highway transportation management. A series of manuals and accompanying computer programs were developed to provide guidelines for establishing a system and the basic data collection programs and analysis that are a necessary beginning for accomplishing such a planning process. The object of the manual is to assist with the development of efficient procedures to update the road inventory data and for analyzing adequacy rating data beginning with the receipt of the completed field forms. The tables produced as a result of this analysis are used for determining the highway needs.
