Pavement condition data is collected using different technologies, vendors, and protocols. When these data are not directly comparable across locations or over time, integrating them is critical to supporting accurate, consistent, and defensible pavement management decisions. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, October 26, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that explored effective practices for integrating and managing disparate pavement condition data within pavement management systems (PMS). Presenters discussed methods for standardizing, calibrating, correlating, and validating data to improve consistency and reliability in PMS analyses.
This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committees on Pavement Asset Management and Pavement Performance, Evaluation, and Surface Interaction.
The slides are available.
