 WHAT IS PMS?
It is a decision support tool .The
American Association of State Highway
and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
defines pavement management as “…the
effective and efficient directing of the
various activities involved in providing
and sustaining pavements in a condition
acceptable to the traveling public at the
least life cycle cost (AASHTO, 1985[1]).”

 DESIGN CRITERION
Decision criteria are those rules developed to guide
pavement management decisions. As pavement
management systems have evolved, decision criteria
have become more complex and now account for
items such as user delay, vehicle operating costs and,
in limited cases, environmental effects.

including  maintenance, reconstruction
and rehabilitation (MR&R) , while
satisfying physical and administrative
constraints, such as performance
requirements and funding.
