Present Serviceability Index (PSI) is a pavement performance measure. Introduced by AASHTO, the PSI is one of the most widely used pavement performance indicators after PCI and IRI.[1][2] This performance indicator ranges between 0 and 5, 0 representing a failed pavement and 5 an excellent one. Since the PSI entails slope variance, it is correlated with performance indicators related to roughness such as IRI.[3]
History
The PSI was developed based on AASHO Road Test Present Serviceability Rating (PSR). AASHO Road Test was a set of experiments carried out by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) from 1956 to 1961.[4] Unlike the PSR, which was a ride quality rating that required a panel of observers to ride in a car over the pavement of interest, the PSI does not require a panel of experts. Therefore, it was a more practical approach for large-scale pavement networks.
