4. 2018 Work Plan
Quantifying the safety benefits of pavement preservation
High Friction Surface treatments
Rut filling to reduce hydroplaning
Diamond Grinding and Grooving
Identify agencies that consider safety alone as the trigger for a pavement preservation program
Look at operational safety between preservation and rehabilitation projects and/or safety of pothole patching operations vs. preservation projects.
Support efforts to emphasize the importance of pavement preservation to asset management
Provide examples for how pavement preservation has been incorporated into Asset Management Plans in other States
Look at the ability to link pavement preservation to the lowest life-cycle cost

5. 2018 Work Plan
Support TC3 and the implementation of the TSP2 contractor and agency pavement preservation certification program
Recommendation for Implementation
NCHRP Guide Specifications for the Construction of Chip Seals and Microsurfacing
NCHRP 20-07(380) Proposed AASHTO Manual for the Maintenance of Roadways and Bridges
NCHRP Pavement Maintenance Data Base

6. 2018 Research Problem Statements
1. Determining Pavement Preservation Treatment Lives and Related Pavement Life Extension
The objective of this project is to develop methodologies to estimate treatment lives and life extension of both flexible and rigid pavements as a function of treatment type, existing pavement conditions, and environmental and traffic conditions. It is anticipated that existing databases and PMS data will be used to develop these methodologies and estimates for case studies.
2. Guide Construction Specifications for Cold In-place Recycling (CIR) and Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR)
The objective of this project is to produce an AASHTO Construction Guide Specification for the application of cold in-place recycling and cold central plant recycling.
3. Development of Protocols and Procedures for Selecting, Monitoring and Reporting on Pavement Preservation Treatments for Performance Evaluation
The objective of this project is to develop detailed guidelines that can be used by state and local transportation agencies to create, monitor, analyze, and report on pavement test sections for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of different pavement preservation treatments.

7. 2018 Resolutions
Establish the Committee on Maintenance as the Responsible Body for Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guidance Specifications
