ROAD SURFACE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A road surface management system configured for small- to medium-sized road networks is presented. The approach includes procedures to handle a road network inventory, a windshield survey, a set of repair strategies, and analysis options. Thirteen parameters per road are contained in the inventory, seven surface distress characteristics are observed, more than 25 repair alternatives are suggested, and a series of budget analyses is included. Decision trees are used to associate repairs with observed surface distresses. A decision tree is associated with each surface distress; default or user-defined alternatives are assigned to the distresses. A network condition rating is calculated from the repair strategies identified for a road network. A description of the software and hardware is presented with an estimate of implementation costs.
