Abstract:

The city of Johannesburg is nearing the end of the first stage in the implementation of a pavement management system. This work was centered on assisting the road authority in identifying roads that require resealing or overlays. It is based on a model that relates pavement condition to maintenance requirements and to the timing of future inspections. This system has already been used to good effect in preparing the maintenance program for 1981. This paper describes the nature and scope of the work in order to show what techniques have been found useful and what problems can be expected. An important feature of this system is its basic simplicity. It requires only the minimum amount of information, which is reasonably easy to collect. The favorable reaction by the staff to this innovation is discussed and special attention is focused on the threat that the introduction of more-mechanized methods of pavement assessment poses to the job satisfaction of road inspectors.
