A REPORT ON PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 1

ABSTRACT

Pavement management is defined as a program which main concerns are ensuring that the

quality and performance of the transportation pavements are maintained. It also ensures that the

maintenance costs are lowered by using good management practices. Pavements management

systems combine all the set procedures for data collection, analysis, maintenance and reporting in

finding optimum strategies for the maintenance of transportation pavements in good serviceable

condition over a specified period and for the minimum costs. Pavement management frameworks

assist manager to obtain/get informed understanding of the possible consequences of alternative

decisions. Pavement management system does not necessarily make the decision but instead, they

assist the decision makers to make a wise decision concerning the pavement management.

This report aims at discussing the processes that are carried out in the execution of PMS.

It compares the advantages of rehabilitation with those of constructing a new pavement network.

It also aims at realizing the best practices of PMS. A survey was carried out using questionnaires

which were distributed to citizens from Texas. The survey data is presented in an appendix form.

Analysis of the collected data is purely based on the conditions of the pavements, reaction of the

respondent and the success of the already tried method.
