PROJECT APPROACH DATA

COLLECTION TO DETERMINE THE
UNSURFACED ROADWAY CONDITION
INDEX (URCI)
CRREL Developed the URCI in the Late 1980s and Early 1990s
The URCI is a Comprehensive Statistical Index of Road Conditions
Based on Variables Observed During Seasonal Windshield Surveys
and Annual Criteria Measurements
The URCI is Calculated from
Deduct Values Tabulated by a
Prioritized List of Seven
Measured Roadway
Distresses

PROJECT APPROACH ELEMENTS OF

THE URCI

The Seven Distresses Used to Calculate the URCI:

1.

Improper Cross Section

2.

Inadequate Roadside Drainage

3.

Corrugations

4.

Dust

5.

Potholes

6.

Rutting

7.

Loose Aggregate

A Statistical Study Determined that the URCI Value is Repeatable

and the Methodology was Tested and Verified at Seven Locations
from Alaska to New England
