Patching Potholes With Data

This article discusses making geographic information systems (GIS) the center of a pavement management system (PMS). This allow systematic evaluations of an entire road network in order to develop work plans to maintain pavement to a predetermined standard with available resources. Commercially available applications include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ MicroPAVER (http://owww.cecer.army.mil/paver/Paver.htm, accessed June 2007) program. It automatically identifies stress factors and rates them for severity, using imaging data that was collected in a geo-referenced mode. Additional information on how to enhance the data is included
