Implementation, Training, and Outreach for MnDOT Pavement Marking Tool - Phase II

The objective of this project was to fully implement the Pavement Marking Management Tool by incorporating retroreflectivity and striping data (MnDOT and contractors) and simplifying the process of data collection, storage, and analysis. As part of achieving full implementation, the researchers provided training to MnDOT central office staff and staff in each of the districts. Improved pavement marking management has the potential to reduce MnDOT's costs, improve pavement marking performance, and in return provide a more efficient and safe driving experience for the traveling public. The result of this effort included a web-portal for submitting pavement marking data (paint and retroreflectivity), a geographic information system (GIS) web based tool to manage, view, and create reports on pavement marking data, and training on the data collection and tool. This technical memorandum presents project findings by task.
