Development of a Pavement Maintenance Management System. Volume VIII. Development of an Airfield Pavement Maintenance and Repair Consequence System

摘要

This report documents development of the Airfield Pavement Management System (APMS), a computerized system for analyzing airfield pavements. The system provides: (1) a method for determining feasible maintenance and repair (M&R) alternatives for a given pavement feature, (2) a procedure for performing economic analyses to compare various M&R alternatives for a given pavement feature, and (3) a procedure for forecasting the Pavement Condition Index and key distresses as a consequence of applying an M&R alternative to a particular pavement feature. APMS now consists of seven modules designed to: (1) perform evaluation summary, (2) perform localized repair analysis, (3) evaluate the consequences of localized repair, (4) evaluate the consequences of other M&R, (5) perform cost analysis, (6) perform benefit analysis, and (7) perform budget optimization.
