DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE SWISS ROAD STRUCTURES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Ongoing efforts to develop a comprehensive road structures management system in Switzerland have resulted in a project called KUBA-MS. The system is based on ideas underlying the AASHTOware Pontis System but distinguishes itself in several features, reflecting differences in Swiss and U.S. maintenance practices. The paper describes the general structure of the system and describes its distinctive features. Aspects of system development and data management are outlined, along with the current implementation status.
