Pavement Friction Management Program Implementation (Phase 3) - District-Level Deployment

This is the third phase of research designed to implement pavement friction management (PFMP) with the goal of minimizing crash-related fatalities and serious injuries. This final-phase project will provide the transitional support necessary for a statewide deployment of the developed safety analysis and treatment recommendation framework as documented in the phase 1 and 2 reports. Phase 3 will work with the data collected in Phase 2 in each District and involve: further demonstrating the technology; uploading the data collected to the pavement management system (PMS); training the District personnel on the use of the data; and developing written guidelines for implementing project-level and network-level crash modification factors (CFM).
