NCHRP Report 30

NCHRP Report 30 provides comprehensive guidelines for developing and managing pavement management systems (PMS). It outlines best practices for evaluating pavement conditions, prioritizing maintenance, and allocating resources efficiently across transportation networks. The report helps agencies make informed decisions to prolong pavement life, improve safety, and optimize budgets by standardized data collection, analysis, and performance tracking techniques. Essentially, it acts as a strategic blueprint for transportation agencies to maintain durable, cost-effective pavements and ensure reliable roadway operations over time.
