Dept. of TransportationUS Transportation CollectionIn this study, a complete pavement management system (PMS) was created and implemented inMadison, SD. The system consists of a street geodatabase, development of pavement performancemodels and maintenance & rehabilitation (M&R) plans. The PMS database includes an accurate roadGIS map and information pertinent to pavement such as street inventory, pavement conditions, trafficconditions, history of maintenance and improvement work, and costs. Pavement Condition Index(PCI) was selected as a composite pavement performance measure which incorporates distress type,quantity, and severity. Pavement condition was evaluated based on a field survey. Pavements withsimilar characteristics (e.g., pavement structure, traffic, weather) were grouped together becausethey are expected to behave and deteriorate in a similar and consistent manner under the sameenvironment. The performance functions were then created based on pavement age and pavementconditions for each group. M&R plans were analyzed and recommended using MicroPAVER based onvarious budget scenarios. Four types of M&R treatment were considered: localized stopgap (safety),localized preventive treatment, global preventive treatment, and major repairs. Within the currentcity\ue2\u20ac\u2122s budget, several M&R five-year plans were developed, analyzed and compared by maximizing theoverall pavement conditions and minimizing the percentage of poor pavement areas by the end of2020
