摘要：	The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is divided into six districts, with district offices located in LaPorte, Fort Wayne, Crawfordsville, Greenfield, Vincennes and Seymour. Prior to the launch of this project in February 2013, each district used separate trucks to paint the white edge lines and yellow centerlines on state roads. The total statewide annual cost for the paint operations in fiscal year 2012 was $10,197,576. This figure includes $8,253,737 for material (paint and beads), $1,059,402 for equipment and fuel, and $884,437 for 54,733 hours of labor. The age of the twelve existing paint trucks range from 6 to 19 years, with a median age of 9 years. In an effort to reduce the cost of paint operations, this project was launched to find ways to improve the efficiency of the paint operations and to reduce the need to replace the existing twelve trucks as they wear out. The goal of this project was to determine the feasibility of painting all the required lane miles with just one paint truck per district rather than two trucks per district.
