What are ISPEs?
In-Service Performance Evaluations are the gathering
and evaluation of data to assess the safety
performance of crash cushions and guardrail approach
terminals that have been installed on roads.
These evaluations will be performed thru the joint
efforts of the Safety, Design, Traffic Operations,
Program Management, and Maintenance Offices.
Why perform ISPEs?
On September 11, 2015, the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) released the findings of the FHWA-AASHTO Joint Task
Force in a report titled, “Report from Joint AASHTO-FHWA Task
Force on Guardrail Terminal Crash Analysis.”
One of the recommendations in the findings was to conduct inservice performance evaluations of guardrail approach terminals
that have been installed on roads.
Based on this recommendation, the Department will move
forward with performing in-service performance evaluations.
How will ISPEs be performed?
In-Service Performance Evaluations consist of three
phases.
• Phase 1. Collection of Inventory Data.
• Phase 2. Collection of Incident Data.
• Phase 3. Evaluation of Data.
In-Service Performance Evaluations are the gathering and
evaluation of data to assess the safety performance of crash
cushions and guardrail approach terminals that have been
installed on roads.
Phase 1- Inventory Data
• Approach terminals. Collected by in-house or
contract maintenance forces as part of the guardrail
inspection performed every two years.
• Crash Cushions. Collected by in-house or contract
maintenance forces as part of the crash cushion
inspections performed every year.
• Inventory data is type (manufacturer, make, model),
location, and photos.
• Training is planned for October 2016.
• Implementation is planned for January 1, 2017.
Phase 2- Incident Data
• Collected by in-house or contract maintenance
forces.
• If an incident occurs within the limits of a Traffic
Monitoring Center (TMC), the TMC will determine if
a guardrail approach terminal or crash cushion is
impacted and if so, notify the appropriate
maintenance office contacts.
• If an incident occurs outside the limits of a TMC, law
enforcement will notify the appropriate
maintenance office contacts and the maintenance
office will determine if a guardrail approach terminal
or crash cushion is impacted.
Phase 2- Incident Data (continued)
• Maintenance forces will collect the data, ideally,
before the vehicles involved in the incident are
removed from the site, but at least prior to repair or
replacement of the end terminal or crash cushion.
• Incident data is crash report information plus
addition data (over/ under/ through, location of
impact, and photos).
• Training is planned for October 2016.
• Implementation is planned for January 1, 2017.
Phase 3- Evaluation of Data
• Phase 3 is the evaluation of the data collected from
Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• Evaluation will be performed by a third party such
as a university or research facility and is not
anticipated to start for several years.
How will ISPEs be performed?
In-Service Performance Evaluations consists of three
phases.
• Phase 1. Collection of Inventory Data. Maintenance
• Phase 2. Collection of Incident Data. Maintenance
• Phase 3. Evaluation of Data. Third Party- University
In-Service Performance Evaluations are the gathering and
evaluation of data to assess the safety performance of crash
cushions and guardrail approach terminals that have been
installed on roads.
Statewide Maintenance Task Team
A Guardrail Approach Terminal and Crash Cushion InService Performance Evaluation Statewide
Maintenance Task Team has been formed to discuss
and finalize the implementation details. These
individuals are working within their district and will be
the face of ISPEs in their district. These individuals will
participate in training hosted by the Roadway Design
and Product Evaluation Offices and take that
information and knowledge back to each district.

E-Maintenance
E-Maintenance is the use of mobile devices coupled
with software applications as tools to perform
maintenance work in a more efficient, streamlined
manner; in a paperless, cloud environment; and with
statewide data reporting capabilities.
E-Maintenance
E-Maintenance consists of two phases.
• Phase 1. Inventory, inspection, and evaluation.
–
–
–
–
Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI).
Sign, guardrail, and crash cushion inspections.
Rest Area Inspections.
Maintenance Rating Program (MRP).
• Phase 2. Contract administration.
The focus is currently Phase 1.
E-Maintenance
Phase 1- Inventory, Inspection, and Evaluation
This work is currently performed using clipboards, standard
paper forms, and pencils. Subsequent work is then necessary to
file the standard form as a hardcopy; scan and file the standard
form as an electronic file; and hard code the data written on the
form into a database with limited statewide reporting
capabilities.
The focus is In-Service Performance Evaluations
E-Maintenance Phase 1 is the use of mobile devices with GPS
and camera capabilities, electronic forms which are app based
portals to enter data in real time, and creation of a statewide
reportable database.
E- Maintenance
A Statewide E-Maintenance Task Team has been formed to
establish direction, details, and implementation. These
individuals are working within their district and will be the face
of E-Maintenance in their district.
• Mobile Devices. Tablets or smartphones.
• Front End Mobile Application. Software development and
support of electronic forms as mobile apps to allow electronic
forms to be populated and at the same time allow the data to
be uploaded in real time to a database.
• Back End Database. Data is searchable, retrievable, and
reportable.
• Funding and budget. A possible grant thru FHWA is being
reviewed for E-Operations.
