An Integrated Pavement Data Management and Feedback System (pams) Final Report

This report discusses the implementation of a pavement condition rating (PCR) procedure to sample sections of the road network system. The resources needed are identified for such implementation. The uses of PCR data at the network and project level are also identified. The report stresses the development of a data base for integration of the various engineering systems for pavement management information system. Recommendations include frequency of rating survey, a need for creation of master roadway identification file, assignment of central controlling authority for management of engineering data and, finally, a need for standardization, accuracy and integrity of data for pavement management purpose.
