MEASURE Terminology

Is there terminology confusion? Design Life Service Life Life Extension Routine Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Minor Rehabilitation Design Life Service Life Life Extension Routine Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Minor Rehabilitation

Preventive Maintenance is a component of Pavement Preservation

Pavement Preservation Programs encompass: Corrective & Routine Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Minor Rehabilitation Corrective & Routine Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Minor Rehabilitation

Pavement Preservation components include: Pavement Management Systems Long-Term Network Planning Optimization Cost-Effective Decision Making Sustainable Financing Pavement Management Systems Long-Term Network Planning Optimization Cost-Effective Decision Making Sustainable Financing
