The work described in this report documents the activities performed for the evaluation, development, and enhancement of the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) pavement condition information as part of their pavement management system operation. The study covers all of the Iowa DOT's interstate and primary National Highway System (NHS) and non-NHS system. A new pavement condition rating system that provides a consistent, unified approach in rating pavements in Iowa is being proposed. The proposed 100-scale system is based on five individual indices derived from specific distress data and pavement properties, and an overall pavement condition index, PCI-2, that combines individual indices using weighting factors. The different indices cover cracking, ride, rutting, faulting, and friction. The Cracking Index is formed by combining cracking data (transverse, longitudinal, wheel-path, and alligator cracking indices). Ride, rutting, and faulting indices utilize the International Roughness Index (IRI), rut depth, and fault height, respectively.

Study analyzed responses of an extensive survey completed by over 400 local agencies in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The report identifies current pavement management practices, factors that promote management system implementation, and the challenges (organizational, cultural and technical) that impede implementation. Researchers also conducted in-depth review of the models that had been adopted for use in the RoadSoft® GIS Pavement Strategy module.
