DEVELOPMENT OF PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A ROAD NETWORK

Pavement maintenance management system (PMMS) studies are required in order to program the investments in pavements of a selected road network so as to achieve optimal results. The results of a case study of PMMS implementation, carried out on the primary and secondary roads of the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority area in India, are described. A simple approach, based on pavement evaluation and other data, was used to determine the most economical pavement maintenance strategy. Ways in which a PMMS could be used and implemented in a developing country such as India and related issues such as problems in data collection, development of pavement deterioration models, and prediction of pavement life are examined. The problems encountered during the study are also examined. It was found that PMMS could result in considerable savings in road user costs and overall transportation costs.
