Aim: To enable the students to construct a Pavement Management System based on socio-economic considerations.
Contents: The aim is to enable the students to construct a system for long-term planning of maintenance and rehabilitation activities, with the goal of maximizing the "rate of return" to society of the investments made in maintaining the pavements. The students will work on the construction of a Pavement Management System, capable of ensuring the optimal maintenance and rehabilitation of an existing road system. The system is to be programmed in a spreadsheet, with the main emphasis on creating a "full" system, where all the aspects of the process are considered. In other words, more emphasis is put on the "philosophy" than on the details.
