4 Focus Area Purpose/Scope p an c Pla egic trate St Vision: Safe, smooth, and quiet pavements. Mission: To provide insight and applications that assist FHWA leadership in assuring that pavement surfaces meet and/or exceed our client s expectations. Scope The PSC FALCON Team will provide a multiyear strategic plan that coordinates the activities within FHWA that are concentrated in delivering an effective pavement surface characteristics program.

6 ic Plan ateg Stra WA S FHW National Performance Objectives 4.1 Smoothness Pavements are designed, constructed and maintained to meet users expectations ti relative to ride quality. 4.2 Friction Pavements are designed, constructed and maintained to reduce friction-related crashes. 4.3 Noise Highway agencies use quiet pavement systems in noise-sensitive areas Splash and Spray Pavements are designed, constructed and maintained to reduce the potential for splash and spray.

7 Performance Measures an c Pla egic trate St 4.1 Smoothness Good Ride Quality Percent of VMT on NHS with IRI less than 95 in/mi. - From HPMS Acceptable Ride Quality Percent of VMT on NHS with IRI less than 170 in/mi. - From HPMS Ride Quality Improvement Percent of states meeting the national targets that have maintained conditions or shown improving trends over a 3-year period. - From HPMS

8 Performance Measures an c Pla egic trate St 4.1 Smoothness (Con t) Ride Technology Deployment Number of states that are using technologies/methods to improve smoothness. - Number of Agencies - Extent of National Highway Network Ride Quality Consideration o Factor Extent to which highway agencies consider ride quality in the pavement design, construction, management, and maintenance processes. - Rating by agency (self assessment) - Number of Agencies

9 Performance Measures an c Pla egic trate St 4.2 Friction Friction Improvement Consideration Factor Extent t to which h highway h agencies consider friction in the pavement design, construction, management, and maintenance processes. - Rating by agency (self assessment) - Number of Agencies Friction Related Crash Rate Friction-related related crash rate (related to wet-weather weather and pavement). - Number of agencies - Extent of National Highway Network Friction Quality A measure that indicates the quality of friction, nationally. - Start with interstate - Add NHS

10 Performance Measures an c Pla Quiet pavement systems (initially defined by states in the self-assessments) Noise-sensitive areas (defined by states in the selfassessments) Define quiet pavement systems egic trate St 4.3 Noise Quiet Pavement System Consideration Factor Extent to which highway agencies consider quiet pavement systems in the pavement design, construction, management, and maintenance processes for noise- sensitive areas. - Rating by agency (self assessment) - Number of Agencies

11 Performance Measures an c Pla egic trate St 4.4 Splash and Spray Splash/Spray Consideration Factor Extent to which highway agencies consider splash and spray in the pavement design, construction, management, and maintenance processes. - Rating by agency (self assessment) - Number of Agencies Rutting Condition Average rutting depth per sample unit. - From HPMS Splash/Spray ay Condition o A measure that indicates the splash and spray, nationally. - Start with interstate - Add NHS

12 National Strategies an c Pla egic trate St Develop, promote, and deploy assessment capabilities and technologies to improve highway systems. Demonstrate the benefits of using pavement surface characteristics ti as a highway h system performance indicator. Develop and implement policy guidance to align with quality assurance, environmental policy, and safety policy. Develop a national management program.
