INTRODUCTION: Purpose, use, content, and background of catalog
PART TWO: HPMS new technologies and techniques - forms (listed by category):
FHWA data collection techniques
GIS/GPS application for data collection integration and presentation
Other data integration and presentation techniques
Automated data collection equipment
Private data sources and privatization of data collection
The Catalog on HPMS new technologies and techniques is intended for use by:
The purpose of the catalog is to create a network to share information on new technologies and techniques for collecting and reporting HPMS data.
New technology or technique:
Any new technology or technique which the State has employed in the past five years or is currently considering which increases the efficiency, quality, consistency and/or safety of data collection by the State and is used or could be used in the preparation of the annual HPMS submittal to FHWA. Information on current research activities is also included.
Since much of the data for HPMS comes from other sources and activities, the use of the term HPMS is in the broadest context and includes new technologies and techniques used in these other sources and activities as well as the direct collection and processing of HPMS. For example, if HPMS pavement condition information comes from the State pavement management system and States are using a new technology or technique for the collection of data, they are encouraged to include the activity in the catalog.
Part Two contains individual forms which were prepared by the States. They are sorted by the following categories:
Each form contains one new technology application or technique. The forms contain the following information:
Each form contains enough information to allow users to make decisions on which States to contact if they want to obtain additional information on a particular technology or technique or to share information on experiences. The purpose of the catalog is to create a network to share information.
This catalog was prepared as part of the FHWA initiative to reassess the current HPMS. It was designed so that it could be periodically updated and supplemented. States are encouraged to update their submittals and add new entries.
New or modified forms should be sent to: Robert Rozycki, Office of Highway Policy Information - HPPI-20, Federal Highway Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20590, or robert.rozycki@fhwa.dot.gov.

Description of Technology or Technique Application: Since June of 1998 the Department has been using an ARAN (Automatic Road Analyzer) van to collect PCR and IRI data on the State Highway and State Aid Highway systems. The van automatically collects rut and ride data ( Type I ). Video cameras collect pavement data, which is post processed by a technician to determine PCR assignments. In addition to pavement cameras the van is equipped with forward, right, and left looking cameras to pick up inventory and right of way data. The data collected by these cameras has proved helpful in updating of inventory and roadway alignments. |
|
Description of Use or Possible Use for HPMS (If project is in research phase, describe the research project): The International Roughness Index (IRI) and Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) after being post processed is loaded into the pavement management database. Annually this data is run through routines to update our primary transportation database. Our HPMS non-sampled sections are generated from this data. The sample sections are then updated using a batch update file. |
|
Results of Use (In terms of improved efficiency, quality, consistency, safety of data collection and other benefits): The data gathered is analyzed to assign a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR), predict future deterioration, and make recommendations on where pavement expenditures should be made. This data is also used to update our HPMS section data. |

Description of Technology or Technique Application: The Virginia Department of Transportation is in the process of updating its GIS base map centerlines from an accuracy of +/- 40 feet to +/- 2 meters. This is being done through a combination of technology that includes GPS, inertial navigation, and terrestrial photogrammetric means using photolog images. The data collection effort will occur over the next 2 years on a statewide basis. At present, a 3 county pilot is underway. The subsequent centerlines will be made available through a web-enabled enterprise GIS, allowing for the linking of business and spatial data. |
|
Description of Use or Possible Use for HPMS (If project is in research phase, describe the research project): The new centerlines will be linked to the legacy database information where the HPMS report data originates. The legacy database's link-node LRS will be available through a linear reference translator that will translate the link-node LRS into route-milepost and/or geographic latitude/longitude. Accessibility to the translator is dependent on the 3 county pilot described above. |
|
Results of Use (In terms of improved efficiency, quality, consistency, safety of data collection and other benefits): The results will provide improvements in the currency and accuracy of the data being reported and accessibility to the data. |
