GEOMETRIC PAVEMENT MODEL FOR COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE ACTIONS. MODEL DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION OF THE INPUT DATA. INTERIM VERSION

This publication describes a geometric pavement model used to support the Swedish National Road Administration method "Procedures at road repairs". This method was developed to effectively remedy the road roughness that affects vehicle movement, travel comfort, dynamic loads, drainage and winter maintenance. The output from the geometric pavement model can be used as information in connection with pavement maintenance action. This makes it possible to calculate the resources needed, even where there are stringent requirements on the final surface geometry, and irrespective of whether the road manager intends to assume responsibility for the pavement design or leave this to the contractor. Several of the main contract items can be calculated from the drawings and thus remain unregulated, regardless of the form of contract chosen. The performance requirements that are placed on the geometric pavement model determine what the data supplier must achieve with his survey equipment, methods and processing of the survey data. The conditions for using the geometric pavement model, which are important for the road manager and everyone else involved in the road maintenance project to know, are clearly set out. Both the overall principle as regards tolerance limits as well as detailed tolerance requirements are specified. Data for the geometric pavement model shall be supplied in the format used in the Swedish National Road Administration's "Mill and Fill" CAD program. These formats are specified in this publication. If any differences between versions are at hand, the Swedish version is the correct version.
