PCI

Definition

Pavement Condition Index (RT-PCI). A 0-100 composite score built on ASTM D6433. All 19 distress types identified per E1778 terminology, measured via the Perception Engine, crack widths analyzed per E3303 and AASHTO R 55. Computes severity-weighted deduct values and applies the corrected deduct value (CDV) procedure. Applied to both asphalt and concrete. The industry gold standard for pavement management.

In context

PCI is the 0-to-100 score most pavement management programs are built around.
