Method of Pavement Selection, 1983 Edition.

This report is the result of the study made in 1978 concerning the method of pavement selection to be used by the Department of Transportation and an in-depth review made in 1981-82 by members of the original Task Force (as much as possible) of the factors utilized in the process to determine if they remained valid, required any modification, or if additional items should be considered in the pavement selection method. Included in this report are the conclusions, recommendations, the detailed study, appendices, references and bibliographies.

This report replaces the 1978 Report on Mn/DOT's Pavement Selection Method as a working document; however, because of its detailed nature, the 1978 Report does contain much significant information concerning the investigations made at that time prior to instituting the process that continues be used by Mn/DOT with the modification recommended by the 1981-82 Task Force and subsequently adopted by Mn/DOT.
