Incorporating Risk and Resilience into Pavement Management System (PMS) Analyses

Status:

Funding Agency: New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT)

Abstract:

This research integrated risk and resilience considerations into NJDOT’s PMS to support proactive decision-making. Over 20 risk factors, including flooding, geotechnical failures, weather impacts, and construction quality, were evaluated for integration. The team developed methods to quantify risk, prioritize corridors, and refine definitions of “state of good repair.” Key data sources were reviewed, including drainage, freight, climate, and geotechnical datasets, for potential inclusion in dTIMS. These findings provide NJDOT with a framework for resilience-focused planning, helping prepare for climate challenges and operational risks.
