... Although pavement preventive maintenance is believed to result in lower agency costs, improved pavement conditions, and increased customer satisfaction, these programs continue to face many obstacles. Among these obstacles are lack of proof that preventive maintenance is cost effective and insufficient guidance on when preventive maintenance treatments should be applied.

... Techniques used to determine the time to apply preventive maintenance included the following: • A predetermined treatment schedule • Time since a previous maintenance or rehabilitation event • Maintenance surveys • A pavement management system Because of the lack of available information from highway agency practice, the research focused on defining a methodology that could be used by agencies interested in placing the right treatment on the right pavement at the right time. The methodology is based on the premise that if a specific treatment is applied to a pavement at different times in its life, it will provide different benefits.

... The following actions should further enhance this implementation: • Identify specific objectives of the preventive maintenance program to guide both the selection of preventive maintenance treatments and the measures used to monitor performance. • Select treatments that are considered preventive applications and define guidelines on their appropriate use.
