Paint Pavement Marking Performance Prediction Model That Includes the Impacts of Snow Removal Operations
The results of this research effort were captured in two manuscripts drafted for publication in peer reviewed journals. The first manuscript validated a previously published model with an expanded data set, updated service life predictions for painted pavement markings using recently released paveme...
