The lessons learned in marketing and implementing pavement management systems (PMSs) within state road authorities and local government authorities in Australia are discussed. The PMS was developed by the Asset Control Technology Section of the Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales (NSW). This PMS has been implemented in over 40 local government authorities and four state road authorities in Australia as well as a number of government authorities in Asia. The system is modular and has been especially adapted for local government. Key issues are reviewed that have been identified as significant in the implementation of the PMS to a wide sector of the road industry in NSW, particularly over the past 4 to 5 years. Local government technical staff have developed an increasing realization of the need for PMS technology but have exhibited some reticence to select and implement a system. The comprehensive implementation and training package provided with the PMS, at first considered daunting by some clients, has proven entirely adequate. It is now often cited as constituting a valuable management review, which is one of the main advantages of taking PMS technology to local government. In the areas of infrastructure renewal, effective asset management, and accountability for the capitalization of assets, the PMS has been credited with significant short-term wins and significant medium- to long-term capabilities. Examples of the applications of PMS in these areas are described. A brief case study of the effective implementation of PMS in Dubbo City is provided. Interfacing PMS software with other information management systems requires considerable attention. The nature of the market place for PMS implementation is discussed in light of developments over the past 5 years in information management. In conclusion, there is a retrospective look at the projections made for PMS in Australia at the preceding conference, the degree to which they have been realized, and the lessons available from past PMS implementations from the viewpoint of the implementor and the local government client.
