Example PCI Calculation

The document provides a pavement condition survey for a sample road section. It lists various types of distresses and their quantities. To determine the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), the following steps are taken: (1) calculate the distress density and deduct value for each distress, (2) determine the maximum corrected deduct value (CDVmax) by iteratively reducing deduct values, (3) the PCI equals 100 minus the CDVmax, which is 40 for this sample, indicating the pavement is in poor condition.

Maximum allowable number of deducts, m

Highest deduct value, HDV = 45


m = 1 + (9/98)(100 HDV)
= 1 + (9/98)(100 45)
= 6.05
Deduct values in descending order: 45, 32, 13, 7, 6, 6, 2
Number of deduct values = 7
Since the maximum allowable number of deducts is 6.05, therefore only the first 6
and 0.05 of the 7th deduct value are selected, i.e. 45, 32, 13, 7, 6, 6 and 0.05*2 = 0.1.
(3)

Maximum corrected deduct value, CDV

Number of deduct values greater than 2, q = 6


Total deduct value = 45 + 32 + 13 + 7 + 6 +6 + 0.1 = 109
From Figure B-45, CDV = 56

Reduce the smallest individual deduct value to 2 (q is now 5) and determine the CDV.
Repeat until q reaches 1.

Determine the Pavement Condition Index

PCI = 100 CDVmax


= 100 60
= 40
Based on the rating for PCI value of 40, this section of pavement is in poor condition.
