HORIZONS IN HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE

NEW HORIZONS HAVE OPENED UP AS A RESULT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES. THESE STUDIES PROVIDE THE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNIQUES NEEDED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE. THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES THE SIZE OF THE MAINTENANCE FUNCTION, EXPLAINS THE COMPLEXITY AND THE PROBLEMS THAT CHARACTERIZE HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE, AND EMPHASIZES ITS CHALLENGE TO THE ENTIRE HIGHWAY INDUSTRY. HE IS CONVINCED THAT, IF ALL SEGMENTS OF THE HIGHWAY INDUSTRY - - MANAGEMENT, RESEARCH, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTIONS MATERIALS PRODUCTION AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURE -- RISE TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE, SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE MADE IN MAINTENANCE DURING THE NEXT TWO DECADES. /AUTHOR/
