The road test used large road user panels to establish the present serviceability rating (PSR) for each test section. Since panel ratings are expensive, a substitute key parameter present serviceability index (PSI) was established. The PSI is based on data on the road's longitudinal roughness, patchwork, rutting, and cracking. Later studies ...
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is a standards setting body which publishes specifications, test protocols, and guidelines that are used in highway design and construction throughout the United States.

The first track to be started onsite was an initial 6 mi (9.7 km) segment of the planned Linear Induction Motor Research Vehicle (LIMRV) test track, built by Morrison-Knudsen; it was anticipated that the initial segment would later be extended to a full 21.8 mi long (35.1 km) oval and a parallel oval guideway would be completed for the Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle (TACRV).

These 4,500 acres are split between the main TRC property and a rural road/ATV course located approximately 2.5 miles from the main property. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has its Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) on TRC property. TRC is the only North American proving ground with a government research and ...
Most other restrictions and mandates tied to the executive order were lifted in 2021, but the DMV road test waiver remained. The additional road tests will further burden understaffed driver’s ...
Confusing. Trivial. Useless. Laughable. Inconsistent. The road rage over DMV test questions continues for drivers 70 and older.
The pavement condition index (PCI) is a numerical index between 0 and 100, which is used to indicate the general condition of a pavement section.The PCI is widely used in transportation civil engineering [1] and asset management, and many municipalities use it to measure the performance of their road infrastructure and their levels of service.
