SPR-2323: Highway Sign Support Systems: Condition Assessment Deterioration Models and Asset Management

The project objectives are to: (1) Evaluate and recommend an update to the current inspection standard and practices, as needed, for the collection of any additional inspection inventory data to support and sustain the deterioration modeling, risk assessments, and benefit-to-cost ratio analysis determined by these research findings. (2) Investigate and develop complementary Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) methods. (3) Structures to evaluate: overhead sign supports (cantilever and box), bridge mounted supports, signal supports, and high mast lighting supports. (4) Develop sign support system deterioration models and provide support to Bridge Management System (BMS) integration. (5) Develop benefit-to-cost ratio analysis model for optimum maintenance resource allocation.
