The pavement management system deals with a pavement condition assessment. Rating of pavement can be done on the pavement condition assessment. Structural and functional distress is responsible for the failure of pavements. In this work, significant functional distresses which occur in flexible pavements are considered for the rating and assessment of road sections. The functional distress considered are Raveling, Potholes, Shoving, Patching, Depression, and Rutting as these are common and frequently occurred in the flexible pavements. The study of these distresses is done by authors. The measurement of distresses is done as per guideline given by the Indian Road Congress 1982 is used. For the condition, assessment guideline provided in Maintenance Management of Primary, Secondary, and Urban Roads, IRC, 2004, is used. Total five road section in the Pune region is considered for the study. All are flexible pavements. As Per assessment, it is observed that out of five segments, segment I and II are in fair to good condition, segment III is in very good condition. Segment IV and V are in very good and good condition, respectively.


The pavement management system deals with maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of pavements. Pavement Condition evaluation is one of the critical steps in the pavement management system. It required distresses identification and measurement on the pavement surface. Structural distresses are an essential component in the pavement condition evaluation. To take decisions precisely, it is necessary to develop the relationship between various distresses. In this study, the relationship between structural distresses in flexible pavements has been analyzed. The primary structural distresses as longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, Fatigue cracking, Block cracking, and deflection has been considered for the study. The correlation between all the distresses has been analysis. For correlation analysis, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient is used. The values of the Pearson correlation coefficient indicate that there is a strong positive relationship betweenthe distresses. Furthermore, to develop a prediction model, the regression analysis has been done. The values of the coefficient of regression indicate that the relationship is linear and positive between the structural distresses.

Maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) scheduling for airport pavement is supported by the scientific literature, while a specific tool for heliport pavements lacks. A heliport pavement management system (HPMS) allows the infrastructure manager to obtain benefits in technical and economic terms, as well as safety and efficiency, during the analyzed period. Structure and rationale of the APSM could be replicated and simplified to implement a HPMS because movements of rotary-wing aircrafts have less complexity than fixed-wing ones and have lower mechanical effects on the pavement. In this study, an innovative pavement condition index-based HPMS has been proposed and implemented to rigid and flexible surfaces of the airport of Vergiate (province of Varese, Italy), and two twenty-year M&R plans have been developed, where the results from reactive and proactive approaches have been compared to identify the best strategy in terms of costs and pavement level of service. The result obtained shows that although the loads and traffic of rotary-wing aircrafts are limited, the adoption of PMS is also necessary in the heliport environment.
