Summary of Research Question Please provide a brief summary of the proposed project. Include details of the teams impacted by this work, the desired outcome, etc. This project will involve analyzing data related to paving schedules, traffic, and pothole work orders. The objective of the project is to optimize the paving schedule such that the cost of filling potholes is minimized over time. This data will be used by the Department of Public Works, specifically the Streets division, to inform their paving program. Preferably the deliverable will include maps and other visualizations that can be used by leadership to inform their paving strategy, 2. Data Sets Available Please describe the data sets available for this project. Include details such as number of rows, variables, etc. Include also details of missing data, data that will require an NDA, etc. Indiana LRSA Report (Annual Operational Report for Local Roads and Streets) • Rows o Varies by year. 2016 has over 1400 rows of road/street projects, plus additional information on equipment and financials.

Risks 1 Blockers Are there any details we should be aware of that might impede the successful completion of this project? There may be some bias in pothole reporting, and we do not want to reinforce any inequities associated with current reporting patterns. If the methodology can offset this in any way, this would be an added bonus. 4. Preferred Delivery Date Is there a date when you would like this project completed by?
