The data collected by this equipment is being integrated into the Pavement Management System (PMS) in order to better evaluate the condition of the state's road network.

The training area of this sub-unit consists primarily of three area Pavement Coordinators who provide assistance for construction and maintenance personnel. The coordinators will train field personnel in the use of the PMS as well as retrieving pavement distress information to incorporate into the PMS. These coordinators also introduce new maintenance products, equipment and techniques to the field offices. The coordinators work closely with field maintenance engineers in an effort to more accurately determine repair costs necessary to support funding needs from the legislature.

This sub-unit is headed by Jerry Blackwelder with the assistance of a Technical Support Engineer, David Stanley.
