District Level Preventive Maintenance Treatment Selection Tool for Use in Virginia
… to improve network condition by retarding future pavement deterioration. The Virginia Department of Transportation uses its pavement management system to determine maintenance targets for each district. The districts then use these recommendations to select pavements that will receive maintenance …
