Abstract:

Most implementation guidelines are prepared under the assumption that the decision to implement pavement management has been made. They generally do not address the problems of an individual in an organization who must convince the management structure that pavement management is something that should be adopted and implemented. In addition, many guidelines stop after the pavement management system has been adopted, pavements inspected, and information is in the computerized system. A new approach in pavement management implementation guidelines is described. It addresses five phases of pavement management adoption and implementation that cover the full range of implementation. The first phase is for individuals within agencies who are interested in finding information about pavement management to determine if they would like to pursue implementation. The second phase is for the pavement engineer, maintenance supervisor, or other persons trying to get their agency to adopt pavement management practices. The third phase is for personnel in an agency who have decided to implement pavement management but who have not selected the pavement management process, pavement management decision support software, and data collection procedures. The fourth phase is for agency personnel after the third phase has been completed and the system is being implemented in the agency. The final phase is for agency personnel after the initial implementation is complete and the agency is trying to make pavement management a routine part of the management process. When the fifth phase is finished, implementation can be considered complete, because the pavement management process becomes the standard method of managing the pavement system in the agency.
