FOCUS OF THE BOOK PMS

• To have Adequate pavement service life
• PMS is not related with good design, materials,
maintenance, rehabilitation…….but…..PMS provides
a methodology for synthesizing these activities to
maximize pavement life and benefits.
• Ex : Own house
• Long term pavement performance monitoring
• Projections and predictions are future PMS
“ PMS is a set of tools or methods that assist decision
makers in finding optimum strategies for
providing and maintaining pavements in a
serviceable condition over a given period of time”
PMS requires an organized and systematic approach
as we think and do in our day to day life.

• Expand the scope 1. Agency wide programs of new construction,
• To provide feedback on the consequences of decisions maintenance
facilitate the co-ordination of activities within the 2. Total cost

DEVELOPMENT OF PAVEMENT
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
SYSTEM METHODOLOGY
• Roman Road “ Appian Way” • University of Texas : Pavement design using system
• John Macadam Father of modern pavement approach.
construction • Canada : Overall pavement design and management
• First bituminous road was done in 1909 problem and several of its subsystems.
• First concrete road were built in wayne country, • Texas A&M University : The overall historic
Michigan. perspective for PMS.
• “Pierre marie jerome tresaguet” The Real founder of
pavement management. He said that pavement will
have adequate life with good drainage system and
hard wearing coarse

ROLE OF PAVEMENTS IN
TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
TRANSPORT SYSTEM
• Pavement is to serve traffic safely, comfortably and 1. Rigid pavement
efficiently at minimum cost…..
• Among all transportation system, Pavement sector
represents largest amount…….
• As large investments involved in pavements, a
marginal improvements in managing the investment
may effect very large money savings……..
• The investments in pavements must be protected
through periodic rehabilitation and maintenance,
Otherwise the investment can be lost if pavements are
allowed to deteriorate too much.

TYPES OF PAVEMENTS CONCEPT OF PMS

2. Flexible pavement Management decisions are made as a part of normal
operations everyday in highway agencies. the idea behind
PMS is
• To improve the efficiency of decision making,
• To expand its scope,
• Provide feedback as to the consequences of decisions,
• Ensure the consistency of decisions made at different
levels within the same organization.
Good PMS requires people to think, respond to information
and make decisions in a logical, effective, and coordinated
way.

works program, large or small. The objective of the
management system is to use reliable information and
decision criteria in an organized framework to produce
