... 73   Assessment of pavement condition has evolved over the past 30 to 40 years, from manual methods that use data collection crews walking or driving slowly on the shoulder to vehicles traveling at posted highway speeds capturing roadway profile and surface images for quantifying distress. While the transition to APCS has improved the safety and efficiency of data collection, it has also resulted in challenges that include keeping pace with rapidly advancing digital image technology, data quality concerns, year-to-year consistency, and modifications to existing pavement management components (e.g., performance measures, prediction models, treatment decision trees)

... Summary of Findings 75   responding agencies, 14 use a sample size of less than 5% of the total annual lane miles, 10 use a sample size of 5% to 15%, 4 use a sample size of 15% to 25%, 1 uses a sample size of 50% to 75%, and 12 use a sample size of 75% to 100%. The responding agencies indicated experiencing challenges in PM2 reporting related to establishing pavement performance targets (22 agencies)
