Abstract:

The RO.MA. pavement management system (PMS) developed for urban roads and highway networks in Italy is described and a short description of its elements is reported. Problems encountered in the implementation and start-up of the system, as well as the interaction with the users are detailed. Additionally, a review of the main information stored in the RO.MA. road data base and the criteria used for its design are discussed. Since 1988 the RO.MA. method has been successfully used for yearly maintenance planning of the entire Autovie Venete S.P.A. highway network, a north-east toll highway from Venice to Trieste, and a 1000-km provincial road network in Sardinia. Highlights of various PMS results during 1993 are reported. RO.MA. methodologies have been successfully applied in some municipalities in Northern Italy, and an example of urban road rehabilitation related to the municipality of Padua is discussed. For the Padua project, a multiannual rehabilitation program was applied and according to the available budget, a priority list of maintenance projects for the urban roads network was prepared.
