Abstract:

This paper discusses the issues involved in designing a pavement management system which can be integrated into a GIS environment. These include the layout and on-line creation of pavement polygons, database design considerations, and the development of linkages between relational databases and map files. Other significant issues encountered in designing a comprehensive pavement management system are also addressed, including: the strengths and weaknesses of standard numeric indexes in prediction and strategy selection, choosing appropriate economic analysis rules to optimize asset life and user benefit, and the development of methods used to analyze the effects of alternative rehabilitation strategies.
