Abstract The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the States, beginning in 1978, jointly developed and implemented a continuous data collection system called the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Currently, the HPMS contains over 110,000 highway sample segments, the most comprehensive nationwide data system in use regarding the physical condition and usage of the Nation's infrastructure. To make use of the HPMS database, FHWA developed an Analytical Process (AP). Some years ago, the FHWA modified the HPMS AP models so that they could be used by State transportation agencies to assess the conditions and performance of their own highway systems. Increasingly, the States, as well as Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and local government agencies, have utilized the HPMS AP as they have addressed a wide variety of concerns about their highway systems. This brochure illustrates ways selected non-federal government agencies have utilized the HPMS to address a variety of their concerns. It illustrates the considerable flexibility and extensive analytical capabilities included in the design and operation of the HPMS AP. 1360k, 18p.
