10 Remaining Service Life (RSL) Definition The estimated number of years, from a specified date in time, until a pavement section reaches the threshold distress index. RSL is a function of the distress level and rate of deterioration. (Pavement Management Manual) The estimated number of years, from a specified date in time, until a pavement section reaches the threshold distress index. RSL is a function of the distress level and rate of deterioration. (Pavement Management Manual) RSL = 0 : The point where a pavements condition has reached a remaining service life of zero years due to distresses and age. The Remaining Service Life pertains to the last treatment and not necessarily the entire pavement. A project level investigation of the pavement is necessary to determine the best, most cost-effective treatment.

11 RSL: Site-Specific Regression Curve RSL 17 – 8 = 9 Threshold Index = 50 (RSL = 0) Threshold Age Current Age Requirements 5 years worth of data. St Dev. <10 R 2 >= 0.5

14 RSL: Why? RSLs are a way to take detailed data and generalize it for network level pavement management. RSLs are a way to take detailed data and generalize it for network level pavement management. RSLs quantify the life expectancy of a given project, which is valuable information that can be used for practical purposes.

15 RSL: Scope of Calculation 11,000 miles of data collected. 11,000 miles of data collected. –Approximately 3,700 projects (0.5-5.0 Miles in length) Each Project has five distresses. Each Project has five distresses. –Each distress on each project needs a performance curve 200 distinct pavement families 200 distinct pavement families –Each pavement family needs a regression curve for each of the five distresses

16 RSL & Maintenance RSL are augmented by one or two years depending upon the type and timeframe of recent maintenance activities.

A Fair pavement section has an RSL equal to 6 and less than or equal to 10 years. A Poor project has an RSL of 5 years or less.

29 Project Recommendation The Pavement Management Program selects the treatment with the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. That treatment is applied at the best possible time in the life of the project. The Pavement Management Program selects the treatment with the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. That treatment is applied at the best possible time in the life of the project. Traffic is a weighted factor in the benefit that tips the cost-benefit ratio in favor of higher-traveled highways.
