Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has been one of the pioneering states in the development and implementation of Pavement Management System (PMS). Since the early 1980's, ADOT has been using pavement management tools to manage, maintain and preserve Arizona's highway network. ADOT's PMS tools were originally based on a probabilistic approach for modeling the pavement performance, which were adequate for the original ADOT requirements. Recently, ADOT has decided to expand the use of the PMS tools to also support the pavement maintenance operations. This required a change in the existing ADOT's PMS tools, which prompted a need to move to a different pavement management software. Subsequently, ADOT selected Stantec's Highway Pavement Management Application (HPMA) software to replace its pavement management system, and retained Stantec's services for structuring, data loading, model development, and implementing the HPMA. HPMA is a single software application that provides full database management and analysis capabilities required by the two types of users (PMS and Maintenance). The HPMA provides capability for users to work at both the detailed highway level and the aggregated section level. Also it provides a wide variety of analysis capabilities, including corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and rehabilitation analysis. This report documents the approach used to achieve the goals of this project including the customization of the HPMA to address ADOT requirements, the development of the analysis models, which are based on ADOT historic performance data, and the implementation of these analysis models in conducting a statewide analysis.

The PErformance COntrolled System (PeCoS) system has been used by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for over 25 years, with at least one upgrade (PeCoS II) during that period. It has helped maintenance managers develop and carry out maintenance programs by providing tools for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling maintenance work, including performance guidelines for each maintenance activity and management reports on various aspects of the work accomplished and the cost of performing the work. The thrust of the maintenance management system over the years has been to develop and carry out programs in the most efficient way possible. However, PeCoS does not provide information on level of service (LOS) outcomes, i.e., the effectiveness of the maintenance programs. The objective of this project is to develop a customer-oriented LOS maintenance management system, a unique approach that focuses on the needs of Arizona's traveling public and identifies the results of maintenance work. To achieve this objective, the functions have been defined and conceptual design conducted for the new system. Industry best practices have been surveyed among twelve states to identify how the new system can benefit from industry innovations. A highly detailed approach has been employed for gathering public perception of Arizona's highway maintenance program through statewide focus groups and attitude surveys to identify customer needs and concerns. The project also employs a rigorous approach to condition assessment and determining budget levels. Opportunities have been evaluated to integrate life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) into ADOT's maintenance activities. Finally the project has developed a software strategy and implementation plan.

The Arizona Department of Transportation, ADOT, uses a network level pavement management system to determine budget requirements for their annual pavement preservation program. While this is a valuable tool for preservation programming, it does not assist the engineers with the selection of projects and rehabilitation treatments. The research documented in this paper was designed to enhance the capability of ADOT's pavement management system to include project selection.
