PERFORMANCE-BASED SPECIFICATION AS A STEP TO PERFORMANCE-BASED MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF PAVEMENT IN JAPAN

Effectiveness, efficiency and environment, these three E-s are clear and present targets for road administration. The performances of road organisations are justified with their outcomes, not only outputs. In order to increase their outcomes, they should increase their inputs in traditional scheme or increase their output per input with more business- like approaches. Life cycle cost of road is one of the key issues many road organisations and researchers have engaged in. Not only road administration cost but also road user's cost and cost for inhabitants and communities should be included in the life cycle cost in order to assist infrastructure investment decision. Thus in estimating life cycle cost, road user's viewpoints are essential even if technical capabilities of estimation are not sufficient. Performance-based management and maintenance has been discussed because using innovative methods and procedures is believed to cut life cycle cost and improve service quality of roads.
