TAXONOMY OF INSTITUTIONAL BARRIERS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The benefits of a pavement management system when fully implemented are well known, and the history of successful implementation is rich. Implementation occurs when the pavement management system is the critical component for making pavement decisions. However, there are barriers to the full implementation of pavement management systems. Institutional barriers, not technical and financial barriers, are more commonly responsible for a pavement management system's falling short of full implementation. In general, highway agencies should put more effort into overcoming these barriers. The Iowa Department of Transportation has designed an implementation process to overcome institutional obstacles and facilitate the implementation of its pavement management system.
