Title: IMPLEMENTING A NATIONAL PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: NEW ZEALAND'S PRAGMATIC APPROACH
Abstract: In late 1998 NZ decided to implement a national Pavement Management System (PMS). It would be used by all local authorities (cities and districts) as well as on the intercity State Highway Network. This meant that the PMS would be used by over 70 different road controlling authorities responsible for a network of approximately 100,000 km of sealed and unsealed roads. It would also be used by consultants who help in managing the road networks. The PMS was to build on the existing road management inventory system as well as integrate with the existing funding framework. The initial objective was to have a completed preliminary system in place and integrated with the existing systems by mid-1999. To achieve the objectives within the available time frame it was necessary to adopt a pragmatic approach. This paper describes how this was achieved. For the covering abstract see ITRD E108018.
