From page 62...
... To estimate the optimal timing, performance and cost data that reflect the effects of applying the treatment at different times are analyzed. An agency may already have access to such data, but the literature search and visits to agencies actively using preventive maintenance treatments suggest that only a few agencies either

From page 63...
... • Planning and monitoring test sections -- Agencies are strongly encouraged to construct preventive maintenance test sections using treatments of local interest placed at different times to generate optimal timing data; monitoring the performance over a long enough time is necessary to generate differences in performance. • Enhancing the optimal timing methodology -- When more time-series performance data for pavements receiving preventive maintenance treatments at different times become available either from agency databases or from experimental sections, the optimal timing methodology should be further evaluated and enhanced.
