 PMS Definition

• “ ... a systematic process that provides,

analyzes, and summarizes pavement
information for use in selecting and
implementing cost-effective pavement
construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance
programs” (US Federal Register)

• “ … a set of tools/methods to assist decision-

makers in finding cost-effective strategies for
providing, evaluating, and maintaining
pavements in a serviceable condition” (FHWA)

 Pavement Management System

 Decision support tool used by pavement

personnel to assist in making cost-effective
decisions concerning pavements
 Operational package that enables systematic

coordinated planning and programming of

investments or expenditure for design,
construction, maintenance, rehabilitation,
renovation, operation, and in-service evaluation of
pavements

 Portland cement concrete (PCC)
• Portland cement concrete (PCC) is a mixture
of aggregate, cementitious material, and
water that forms a rigid, paved surfacing
• Portland cement concrete pavements (PCCP)
have very good performance characteristics
with respect to strength, durability, and ride
quality.

Asphalt Rubber (old tires)

Approx. 1500 to 2000 old tires are used
for every lane-mile of 2-inch asphalt
rubber pavement
