Abstract: | Pavement management systems have proven to be an effective tool for management of large state and
metropolitan pavement networks. Although smaller agencies no doubt have similar operational and
organizational needs and face the same general challenges as larger agencies, there are still many county and
municipal agencies in Illinois that have not implemented pavement management systems. Regardless of
whether this is due to the lack of adequate resources to establish the initial database and set up the system, or
whether there is a general lack of technical expertise to implement the program, local agencies are in need of a
methodology for effectively managing the various components of their pavement network.
As a part of this research two documents were produced including a state-of-the-art/state-of-the-practice
synthesis and a set of guidelines to assist local agencies in selecting and implementing a pavement
management system that is suitable for their needs.
This synthesis document provides details on pavement management systems in terms of data collection
methodologies and rating systems, software programs, and local agency implementations in the U.S. Also
documented are the results of a current practice survey disseminated to local agencies in Illinois, as well as
case studies of selected agencies in Illinois that have a pavement management system implemented in their
jurisdictions. |
