Comparison of pavement management in the nordic countries: Paper prepared for 4th EPAM CONFERENCE

In connection of the US world-wide scanning tour on managing pavements and monitoring performance, the road administrations in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden each contributed. These contributions have been summarized in a report together with a comparison of the road network condition in each country. The report deals with the following main topics: - Use of Sustainable Performance-Based Programs for Managing Pavements - Identifying Effective Communication Strategies to Promote Pavement Management Policies - Developing Agency Cultures to Support Pavement Management Policies - Availability of Techniques and Tools for Managing Pavements Effectively The report shows not only differences and similarities in technical matters, but also in organisational, fund raising, budget allocation, and implementation. The report also focuses on factors that affect the comparison of road condition as differences in measurement methods.
