Abstract:

Toward the end of 1987, the Roads Corporation of Victoria, Australia (VIC ROADS), identified the need for the development and implementation of a pavement management system (PMS). A steering committee was established to guide the development, and by the end of 1988 the PMS had been implemented in each of the eight regions for use on the highway network. The PMS has been in operation for 4 years at a regional level and has recently been extended to cover all major roads under VIC ROADS control but is maintained by local governments. The PMS now operates on a network of over 23,000 km. The process of implementation and the use and impact of the system over the last 5 years were investigated. In particular, the need for clear objectives and ownership of the PMS was essential. Key problem areas include data collection, pavement performance modeling, training, and the need for a more widespread understanding of the concepts underlying the system for all users.
