Many traditional planning procedures tend to postpone maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation (MR&R) work until the pavement facility becomes significantly deteriorated. Any repair and rehabilitation work carried out after significant deterioration of the pavement turns out to be time consuming and not cost effective. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) have been actively promoting preventive maintenance policies to state DOTs. Such proactive policies prescribe less-costly treatments for pavement facilities in order to prevent severe deterioration from occurring. This research project aims to develop such a cost effective planning procedure for the State of Illinois. The objective of this study is to develop an advanced pavement program planning procedure based on multi-year cost-effectiveness analysis. As a part of this project, a study on existing successful pavement management programs was conducted to understand the state of practice. Effective (yet simple) mathematical models have been developed to support pavement program planning practices. The developed models incorporate the concept of cost effective ranking for pavement program planning and would help in making decisions that focus on preventive maintenance.
