An integrated pavement data management and feedback system (PAMS)
Abstract
The present practices followed to manage some 16,000 miles to highways are discussed. Necessary improvements or enhancements to upgrade the existing pavement management system were determined. Four major deficiencies in the present system are addressed: (1) absence of common location identifier for linking and merging various data files; (2) pavement distress measurements; (3) axle number and load distribution measurement and projects; and (4) level of maintenance reporting procedures. It is emphasized that development of the pavement management system can begin by upgrading the existing system.
