The Texas pavement design system of the Texas highway department includes computer programs that compare pavement design strategies on the basis of effectiveness and cost. The effectiveness of pavements is measured primarily by the pavement serviceability index. This report presents the results of an investigation to determine the possibility of relating motorist benefits to the pavement serviceability index and of using these benefits in the comparison of pavement design strategies. The motorist benefits that are considered are those associated with travel time, vehicle operating costs, accident costs, and discomfort. A model for relating motorist benefits to the pavement serviceability index is presented and preliminary estimates of benefits are developed. (Author)
