Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 677: Development of Levels of Service for the Interstate Highway System examines a level-of-service-based approach to describing the performance of Interstate Highway System (IHS) assets. The report also includes a template and process that state departments of transportation (DOTs) may use to implement this approach for managing their IHS assets. The appendices to NCHRP Report 677 were published on a CD-ROM that is included with the report. Titles of the appendices are as follows: Appendix A: State-of-the-Practice Research; Appendix B: Development of Levels of Service for the IHS. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB's website as an ISO image.
Performance-based Highway Maintenance and Operations Management
Author: Michael J. MarkowPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309223474
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en

Book Description
"This synthesis examines current performance-based management practices that are applied by state departments of transportation (DOTs) in highway maintenance and operations (M&O). Past studies have focused on the elements that make up a performance-based M&O approach, such as condition ratings, levels of service, performance measures, and threshold values. This study focuses on how state DOTs actually use performance-based measures to manage their highway programs."--Preface.
