Federal Highway AdministrationNTL-HIGHWAY/ROAD TRANSPORTATION-Pavement Management and PerformanceUS Transportation CollectionThis project was initiated to update MDOT\u2019s existing pavement management process documentation, to develop a QMP for pavement management data collection activities, and to identify recommendations for improving the quality checks on pavement condition data collected by vendors. The Pavement Management Manual and the Network-Level Pavement Condition Data Collection Quality Management Plan are products developed under this research effort and are included as appendix attachments to the final report. The Pavement Management Manual contains relevant pavement management guidance and supplemental materials compiled into single document that describes current pavement management business practices. The Quality Management Plan follows the structure provided in the Practical Guide for Quality Management of Pavement Condition Data Collection (FHWA 2013) but is customized to MDOT\u2019s business practices. The plan identifies data collection contractor quality control requirements and describes the actions needed to resolve any data inconsistencies that are discovered. The quality assurance process used by the agency is outlined and space is provided to record the quality checks that are conducted each time data is submitted by the contractor
