Presented to the Flooding & Drainage Committee

Pavement Assessments for Roadways in the City of Houston
• Pavement Condition Rating (PCR)
• Usage of PCR scores
• 1999-2001 IMMP (Infrastructure Maintenance Management Program)
Typical Roadway Problems
ALLIGATOR CRACKING
TRANSVERSE CRACKING
RAVELLING
RUTTING
Typical Roadway Problems
LONGITUDINAL CRACKING
JOINT SEAL
CONCRETE CRACKS
SLAB REPLACEMENT
IMMP
• IMMP program – Evaluated by individuals
• IMMP PCR Score Factors:
• Flushing• Surface Deterioration• Faulting• Slab cracking*• Slab Replacements*• Ride Condition
(*concrete only)
• Rutting • Raveling• Alligator Cracking• Transverse Cracking• Longitudinal Cracking• Joint Seal Present• Patching
Overview of the Street Surface Assessment Vehicle (SSAV)
• Procured from Idea Integration, Inc. in August 2008
• Data testing began July 2009
• Full production began May 2010
• Assessments are anticipated to occur every 2-3 years
• Estimated 5-year system life = 3 Assessments
Assessment Costs
• Contract rate per assessment - $1.7M (no video)
• PWE Annual Total Operational Cost - $590k (includes video collection)
• 3 Assessments over 5 years = $5.21M contract cost vs. $2.95M internal costs
• Possible future partnerships with other area agencies may recoup some costs
Technical Components of the Street Surface Assessment Vehicle
CrackScope 360 degree camera
GPS Unit
Road Profiler
Distance Measuring Instrument
SSAV Capabilities
• Assesses asphalt/concrete roads in clear weather
• Measures distance traveled only (center-line miles)
• Does not currently identify or “asset tag” any items
• Program relies on machines and specific software to create a more consistent PCR score
• For a road section, 100 is the starting value. Three reductions bring the PCR to its final number. – IRI or ‘roughness’ deduction
– Rutting deduction
– Cracking deduction
What Happens Next?
• Upcoming Completion Schedule– 11/30/2010 – 56%
– 12/31/2010 – 62%
– 03/30/2011 – 82%
– 06/30/2011 – 100%
• Video capture is being used for identification of key items
• Actual completion time depends on the ability for the van to be on the road
How Will We Use This Data?
• To guide and expand maintenance programs– Overlay program– Concrete repairs
• Primary factor for development and scheduling capital projects for streets
