An improved parking lot pavement analysis system is described that analyzes field survey data and generates a report which provides the necessary information to make the most cost-effective maintenance and repair decisions for commercial and residential parking lots. The pavement analysis system can be implemented on an existing PC computer to provide a user-friendly way of standardizing and guiding the visual survey and pavement sampling to determine existing conditions. The pavement analysis system guides entry of data indicating the pavement's existing condition, and then calculates and recommends maintenance and repair options. The calculations are based on an expert diagnostic system analysis which substantially reduces the requirement for expert interpretation. A complete life cycle cost analysis is performed, and this allows the user to make an informed decision about what type repairs are most appropriate for a particular situation. A comprehensive standardized, easy to read, report can be printed to convey sufficient information to enable a parking lot manager to time repairs with pinpoint accuracy.
