DEVELOPING IOWA'S STATEWIDE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

The state of Iowa has embarked on an effort to develop a statewide pavement management system (PMS). The project, the Iowa Pavement Management Program (IPMP), will cover 38,000 km (23,500 miles) of roads operated under three levels of government (state, county, and city). The mission of the project is to support both project-level and network-level PMS conducted by local (city and county) and regional governments and the Iowa Department of Transportatio n. This paper discusses the technical aspects of pavement condition data collection, development of a dynamically segmented database, and calibration of pavement management software for both project- and network-level analyses. Finally, training will be provided for all transportation agencies interested in using the data and software for the management of pavements within their own jurisdictions.
