Pavement maintenance management systems

Abstract

Many countries have implemented a pavement maintenance management system(PMMS), in which this system will help the decision makers such as pavement engineers to apply the best technique for pavement rehabilitation at perfect time, so the maximal use of available funds were done. Each system requires a procedure to prioritize maintenance processes, in which the effectiveness of each prioritization will direct affect the obtainable funds efficiency. The analysis of priority concentrated on establishing the most appropriate list of road section ranking for rehabilitation depending on multiple factors .The Riyadh city pavement maintenance management system (PMMS) performs an inclusive assessment procedure of pavement situation for the whole road network before implementing any program of pavement maintenance. The main factors that this assessment process depends on are distress kinds, severity and their density. The evaluation process of the pavement condition is considered as a key part due to its ability to realize the effectiveness of the PMMS components.
