Pavement Management System

A modern Pavement Management System (PMS) should be essential for maintenance a metropolitan urban road network. Municipality of Budapest has developed own management system for their road pavement operation. To an efficient outcome the newest methods are used for the data collecting with the most innovated geo-informatics solutions, which are help us in our multi criteria decision making process. We present a degradation model which useful for the prediction of the roughness, yielding surface condition of the pavement in the future. After the whole data evaluation we give accurate information about the general characterization of the permanent road network conditions. Our paper shows that in all modern asset management system based on multi criteria decision making processes, which contain single or multi objective optimization methods. The PMS based on the available-technical and financial data and its optimization process provides a pavement renovation offer for each road in Budapest transportation network and finally the paper presents how can we ranking the invention list from our optimization process.

Vantage Points

An integrated network- and project-level pavement management system is described, and its use for allocating resources to various road maintenance actions and distributing these resources to a country's different regions and subnetworks is reported. Particularly interesting is the nature of the budget constraint, which is discussed from three vantage points: disutility of additional road user charges, performance of the road administration, and uncertainty in user benefits. The case study is set in Hungary, where significant efforts have been made to apply state-of-the-art techniques in road management. Contributions are made in three areas: a systematic, top-down managerial analysis of several budget levels and their effect on users and road condition; illustration of practical considerations in resource allocation by road managers; and the use of budget constraints to help achieve multiple highway management objectives, including productivity improvements in the road administration.

The Impact

The results are presented from a 2-year study on the impact of utility trenching on urban flexible road network pavement roughness, pavement surface distress, structural carrying capacity, pavement life cycle, rehabilitation and maintenance requirements, and the costs associated with these impacts in Ottawa-Carleton, Canada. Included are the pavement performance and life-cycle relationships developed using modified methodologies to address concerns raised by reviews carried out by Construction Technology Laboratories Inc. and the National Research Council of Canada on utility trenching studies to date. In this study, normalized individual pavement section life cycle, a composite pavement quality indicator, and performance prediction models calibrated with numerous years of field data were used in the life-cycle and pavement performance determination. These modifications made to the conventional pavement management system when used to determine the impact of utility trenching are shown to provide performance and life-cycle relationships with better correlation than algorithms used in the previous studies. In this study, very high coefficients of determination ( R2) of 0.79 to 0.85 were obtained for the pavement performance and life-cycle relationships regressed from field data for quantification of urban road network pavement with and without the impact of utility trenching. The factors and costs associated with the impact of utility trenching, such as reduction in pavement life cycle, additional cost for subgrade base repair, pavement strengthening requirements from loss of fatigue structural carrying capacity, and the additional area affected beyond the trenched area, are also quantified in this study.

Running or developing the local MMS or PMS, be it for unsealed or sealed pavements, needs a team of well-trained and experienced road organization staff and appropriate equipment. The data employed to run a gravel roads MMS should reflect the capacity of the road organization personnel to collect them. In this regard, the team should be of adequate size, education and experience. It is, therefore, essential for the benefit of road users, road organization, the environment, and the sustainability of gravel roads to establish the capacity of road organization personnel responsible for running gravel road maintenance management with the intention of meeting social, economic, and political demands.The need to establish the adequacy of Tanzania road organizations in running gravel road MMS and PMS was the reason for conducting the qualitative research aspect of this study. The survey also intended to find out which parameters are readily collected by the surveyed road organizations, so as to include them as variables in formulating a gravel loss prediction model.This paper presents analysis and discussion of the questionnaire responses. The study notes the challenges being faced by road organizations responsible for the maintenance management of gravel road network in Tanzania and attempts to map a way forward.

Main goal of Road Network Management System is to ensure safety and continuity of road traffic on road network with low intensity and lower technical requirements. This is achieved with pavement management system (main component of road network management system). Most countries developed custom Pavement management systems (PMS) based on deterministic or probabilistic approach. Local road administrators of low level road networks often lack the software equipment such as HDM-4, RoSy, Exor, etc. These and similar PMS Most PMS, however effective, are often cumbersome, demanding in regard to energy, know-how and software equipment. The majority of local road administrators of rural road networks thus resort to non-effective reactive maintenance strategies. This article describes an easy to use method, based on predetermined maintenance repair & rehabilitation standards. Secondly, a simple method, based on road user cost, is introduced that administrator can use to prepare a list of road section eligible for repair according to their repair priority.

Economic Comparison

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.
