This paper describes the Transportation Research Board Committee on Pavement Monitoring, Evaluation, and Data Storage, which is concerned with data-gathering and processing issues in support of the other committees in the Section on Pavement Management. In this role, the committee focuses on means for documenting pavement responses to both traffic and the environment. For purposes of this committee, evaluation of such data is limited to interpretation for enhancing design and management decisions. Data storage issues are addressed as they relate to facilitating the use of such data in responding to inquiries on pavement issues. Primary focus is on the need to upgrade data acquisition and processing technology for the monitoring of pavement condition, which has not kept pace with other technological improvements over the past 10 years. |
