Definition
Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (RT-PASER). A 1-10 visual rating scale adapted from the Wisconsin DOT method, widely adopted by 1,000+ municipalities. Uses ASTM D6433 distress identification, E3303 crack measurement, and AASHTO R 55 crack width quantification as inputs. Applied to both asphalt and concrete.
In context
PASER's 1-to-10 scale is familiar to the many small agencies that have used it for years.
