PRIORITY ASSESSMENT
In road maintenance remedial work should be ordered into an action list based on need; the most pressing items receive the highest priority. Some form of costing of each item is required to assist the engineer in selecting the cut-off point in the priority list. Therefore costing is also mentioned in the paper. In the past engineering judgment has correctly played an important role in setting priorities. The advent of the maintenance management system, however, requires that engineering judgment be delineated in a series of rational decisions that may be implemented by the system. Unfortunately there is more to priority assessment than merely placing the worst condition measured at the tope of a priority action list. This paper attempts to define the parameters to be considered and to draw attention to areas frequently neglected when formulating priority determination schemes.
