... This is partially because in these services the "product" is not clearly known and the reference value often is difficult to determine. The literature suggests that the most efficient way to achieve high-quality pavement condition data collection services is to adopt a comprehensive, systematic quality management approach that includes methods, techniques, tools, and model problem solutions.

... • There appears to be a need for guidelines to help agencies define the level of data quality and detail needed for the various pavement management functions and decision-making levels. SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH Based on the issues identified in the previous section, the following topics can be listed as future research needs: • Identification and demonstration of "best quality management practices." 54 • Investigation of the effect of emerging pavement data collection technologies on pavement management recommendations.
