This book was released on 2006 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an annual pavement marking program of approximately $2 million and another $750 thousand invested in maintenance of durable markings each year, the Iowa DOT is seeking every opportunity to provide all-year markings staying in acceptable condition under all weather conditions. The goal of this study is to analyze existing pavement marking practices and to develop a prototype Pavement Marking Management System (PMMS). This report documents the first two phases of a three-phase research project. Phase I includes an overview of the Iowa DOT's existing practices and a literature review regarding pavement marking practices in other states. Based on this information, a work plan was developed for Phases II and III of this study. Phase II organized the key components necessary to develop a prototype PMMS for the Iowa DOT. The two primary components are (1) performance/life cycle curves for pavement marking products, and (2) an application matrix tailored to the pavement marking products and roadway and environmental conditions faced by the Iowa DOT. Both components will continue to be refined and tailored to Iowa materials and conditions as more performance data becomes available.

Download or read book Retroreflectivity Database Study written by Eric T. Donnell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement marking delineation is one method to provide positive driver guidance on all roadway types. There are a variety of pavement markings used by local and state transportation agencies in the United States. The type of pavement marking applied to a roadway surface is often a function of climatic conditions, funds available to apply and maintain the markings, and the anticipated performance of the markings. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) developed a program in 2005 designed to periodically collect pavement marking retroreflectivity data on longitudinal lines throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The purpose of this program was to develop a comprehensive analysis database that could be used to create a pavement marking management system for both waterborne and durable (epoxy) pavement markings on a variety of roadway types. In order to develop a cost-effective pavement marking management system, the service life of pavement markings must be well understood. Consequently, the main objective of the present study was to estimate the service life of longitudinal pavement markings using pavement marking retroreflectivity data provided by PennDOT's Bureau of Highway Safety and Traffic Engineering. Various statistical models were specified to produce pavement marking degradation estimates that PennDOT can use to estimate re-stripe times for longitudinal pavement markings.

Book excerpt: This research evaluated pavement marking performance and developed useful degradation models for thermoplastic and paint pavement markings which can help North Carolina meet the pending FHWA minimum retroreflectivity requirements. The impacts of several important factors (such as lateral location, directionality, region, and pavement roughness) on pavement marking retroreflectivity were evaluated. With two large datasets in hand, the authors determined whether these factors had significant impacts on marking retroreflectivity. Image processing techniques were used to analyze pavement marking surface glass bead density. The authors were able to explain why paint marking retroreflectivity values degraded over time by evaluating the impact of bead density on paint marking retroreflectivity. The research reviewed existing marking retroreflectivity degradation models and developed useful new models for both thermoplastic and paint pavement markings in North Carolina. The research presented a transportation asset management system framework for estimating the current and future condition of pavement markings. The research outcomes enable the North Carolina Department of Transportation to have a better understanding of thermoplastic and paint pavement marking performance, which can lead to cost saving by maximizing pavement marking service lifecycles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-based asset management provides a strategic framework for managing transportation infrastructure to improve existing procedures for resource allocation. The importance of comprehensive management of pavement marking assets not only results in monetary benefits to the agencies but also complements other management systems in providing safer driving conditions. A majority of research concerned with pavement markings addresses installation, performance, maintenance, and economic evaluation. Although agencies have developed guides and manuals on these subjects, they had difficulties in practical implementation. The purpose of this study was to address the issues that were identified in the practical implementation of analytical and information tools of asset management practice in the field of pavement markings. Problems of limited variable data, censored data and uncertainty in field evaluation and retroreflectivity based prediction were addressed by adopting statistical techniques. Sectional assessment and management methods were proposed as a part of a practical restriping methodology. An information tool was developed in a geographic information system (GIS) environment as an application. Retroreflectivity was the only performance measure on which the analysis and application was carried out. Two case studies were conducted, one for statistical techniques with retroreflectivity data collected by the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) on U.S. Highway 78 westbound, Lee County, Mississippi. The other for application with retroreflectivity data collected using mobile retroreflectivity unit (MRU) on FM 57, Fisher County, Texas. This research effort provides a framework for an agency in developing a pavement marking management program to maintain good visibility of markings. It also provides a basis for further research in building an integrated asset management system based on other transportation assets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement markings guide and safeguard road users, and maintaining adequate retroreflectivity is crucial for ensuring road safety. Accurate prediction of retroreflectivity and determination of service life are essential for optimizing maintenance efforts. As the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) performs routine application of pavement markings, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive management program to ensure their cost-effective management. So, this thesis focuses on enhancing pavement marking management in Wyoming by investigating factors influencing retroreflectivity, developing predictive models for degradation over time, and establishing a comprehensive Pavement Marking Management Plan (PMMP) that incorporates the principles of the Transportation Asset Management Plan. Binary Logistic Regression models were developed to determine the contributing factors affecting pavement marking retroreflectivity. The findings of this study indicate that factors such as the degree of curvature of horizontal curves, location (rural or urban), material type, pavement marking color, and line position significantly affect pavement marking retroreflectivity. Pavement marking degradation models were developed by using Bayesian Ordered Logit Model. The degradation models provide valuable insights into the deterioration process of pavement markings over time and can assist highway agencies in prioritizing maintenance efforts. The proposed Pavement Marking Management Plan (PMMP) template also integrates Pavement Marking Management Systems of several state DOTs and Transportation Asset Management principles, providing project selection, budgeting, procurement, and contracting strategies. The PMMP also addresses advanced vehicle technologies, advocating for wider longitudinal pavement markings to accommodate machine vision systems.
