The Department of Road Transport, South Australia is progressively implementing a comprehensive pavement construction history (PCH) system that will play a variety of roles within its PMS, including calibration of general pavement performance curves, monitoring the effect of specific pavement attributes on measured performance, and upkeep of the pavement condition information data base to reflect the effect of treatment works being undertaken. To achieve these requirements the design of the PCH data base has included a hierarchy of descriptors and standard codes to assist a wide variety of future retrievals. Commitment and support of field staff to data collation and data entry are critical to the credibility of the system. The involvement of a wide range of stakeholders in the system design and field staff in the refining and documentation of data collation and entry procedures has contributed to a sense of joint ownership of the system. The introduction of the simple personal computer (PC) map-based program ROADMAP for providing effective feedback of a wide variety of road-related data to users has been instrumental in securing support of field staff for data integrity and timely entry.
