National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The purpose of this final rule is to establish measures for State departments of transportation (State DOT) to use to carry out the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and to assess the condition of the following: Pavements on the National Highway System (NHS) (excluding the Interstate System), bridges carrying the NHS which includes on- and off-ramps connected to the NHS, and pavements on the Interstate System. The NHPP is a core Federal-aid highway program that provides support for the condition and performance of the NHS and the construction of new facilities on the NHS. The NHPP also ensures that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a State's asset management plan for the NHS. This final rule establishes regulations for the new performance aspects of the NHPP that address measures, targets, and reporting. The FHWA is in the process of creating a new public Web site to help communicate the national performance story. The Web site will likely include infographics, tables, charts, and descriptions of the performance data that State DOTs report to FHWA. The FHWA issues this final rule based on sec. 1203 of MAP-21, which identifies national transportation goals and requires the Secretary to promulgate rules to establish performance measures and standards in specified Federal-aid highway program areas. This book contains: - The complete text of the National Performance Management Measures - Assessing Pavement Condition for National Highway Performance Program (US Federal Highway Administration Regulation) (FHWA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

The National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program provided in Subpart C of 23 CFR Part 490 includes an alternative method to report pavement conditions for Interstate and non-Interstate National Highway System locations where the speed limit is less than 40 mph.(1) This alternate method uses present serviceability ratings (PSR) to report pavement condition in lieu of using the International Roughness Index, measures of rutting and faulting, and percentage of cracking where the posted speed limit is less than 40 mph. Per 23 CFR 490.309(b)(1)(iv), the portion of the Interstate mainline highway pavements where PSR is allowable includes border crossings and toll plazas.(1) To address stakeholder concerns about the appropriate application of PSR, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed resources to support agencies that prefer to use PSR as an alternate pavement-condition-rating system, where permitted. In addition, many agencies do not collect PSR on their pavement segments; instead, they use Pavement Condition Index (PCI) or other indices computed from measured surface distresses in their pavement management systems. In light of this, section 490.309(b)(2)(iii) also allows State DOTs to convert other pavement-condition-assessment methods (e.g., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers PCI) to PSR if the State establishes to FHWA's satisfaction that the conversion produces pavement condition ratings equivalent to the PSR method. In support of this rule, FHWA has developed this report to provide an approach for estimating PSR from measured surface distress data. It also illustrates correlations between commonly used indices and the PSR, as described in the Highway Performance Monitoring System Field Manual.(3) The appendix includes a guide for using a Microsoft(R) Excel(R)-based PSR Computation Workbook that was developed to assists with estimating PSR from measured surface distresses.(2)

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to establish performance measures for the Interstate Highway System (IHS) and the National Highway System (NHS) to assess the condition of the pavement on the IHS and NHS.(1) The performance measures, as proposed by FHWA, to assess the condition of the pavement are based on the percentage of pavements on both the IHS and NHS (excluding the IHS) in good and poor condition. The condition of the pavements is to be determined based on the following metrics: International Roughness Index, cracking percent, rutting, and faulting. The overall objective of the study was to validate the proposed pavement performance measures and demonstrate their use within asset management. Performance and distress data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance database were translated into the pavement condition metrics used by the performance measure proposed by FHWA. The performance measure validation considered review of the performance measures over time to determine if they followed a logical trend; comparison of performance measures against maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) activities to demonstrate if the performance measures are impacted by M&R activities; and review of the performance measures against thresholds for logic and reproducibility, temporal analysis, effects of alternate thresholds, and identification of performance measure drivers. Standalone guidelines for informing decisionmaking to affect pavement performance measures were also developed based on the study findings; they are provided in a companion report.

The performance measures, as proposed by FHWA, to assess the condition of the pavement are based on the percentage of pavements on both the IHS and NHS (excluding the IHS) in good and poor condition. The condition of the pavements is to be determined based on the following metrics: International Roughness Index, cracking percent, rutting, and faulting. The overall objective of the research study that led to the guidelines contained in this report was to validate the proposed pavement performance measures and to demonstrate their use within asset management; this validation study is documented in a companion report. Guidelines for informing decisionmaking to affect pavement performance measures were developed based on the findings from the validation study. The goal of the guidelines is to illustrate to agencies potential strategies to move the overall condition from poor to fair to good. In meeting this goal, the guidelines will enable highway agencies to address critical questions such as the following: What are the drivers of the performance measures? What are the effects of maintenance and rehabilitation treatments on condition metrics and overall condition?

The objective of this study is to define a consistent and reliable method to document infrastructure health with a focus on pavements and bridges on the Interstate System (that can be expanded to the National Highway System) and to develop a framework for tools that can provide FHWA and State DOTs ready access to key information that will allow for better and more complete assessments of infrastructure health nationally. The goal of the proposed work is to evaluate how performance/condition data can be used for corridor and system management, and facilitate analysis of performance measures and system health for a multi-state Interstate highway corridor. Data quality and data collection differences between States are important issues to be addressed. This work will compliment efforts underway (i.e. such as FHWA's Pavement Health Tool initiative, AASHTO's Bridge element inspection manual, and various activities being undertaken by AASHTO's performance management Task Forces, and NCHRP) to develop improved methodologies that could be used as the basis for performance measurement within an infrastructure performance based program. Critical work areas within this project will better support FHWA and AASHTO's role in managing a performance based infrastructure program.

With the passing of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has proposed that the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) data set is the data source for the national pavement performance measures. The objectives of this project are to: 1. Collect an unbiased baseline study of a statistically significant sample of the entire Interstate Highway System (IHS) and produce a report indicating the pavement condition on the IHS nationally and in each State where data were collected. 2. Determine if HPMS is an unbiased representation of the pavement condition of the IHS. 3. Recommend improvements to HPMS data collection and reporting that are necessary to either make HPMS unbiased or improve its precision, in regard to performance management and FHWA’s use of HPMS data. The project answers the following questions regarding HPMS data collection: Is two-way data collection necessary? Does data need to be collected in more than one lane in a direction? What is the optimum HPMS section length? Do all distress items require full extent reporting or is sampling adequate? Are protocols proposed by FHWA adequate for collecting and reporting distress or do they need improvement? This report documents the entire research effort, with particular emphasis on the data collection and data analyses activities.
