Title: Information Management in a Decision Support System for Pavement Management
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the structure and the information management process of a decision support system for highway pavement management. The system consists of a database, a user interface module, and analysis tools for pavement condition prediction, allocation of maintenance funds according to needs and priorities, and management of maintenance projects. Data used by the system refer to road network characteristics, existing pavement distresses, alternative maintenance actions, and management objectives. The system provides output in tabular and graphical form (through GIS application) regarding pavement condition over time, proposed maintenance activities and cost distribution, project organisation and management.
