Title Management and Maintenance Criteria for the Flexible Pavement of the City Street Network
Author Chia-Pei Chou, Shyh-Tai Lin, Yann-Liang Guo
Summary   The budget distribution of city street pavement maintenance is generally based on the total pavement area and the city population currently. This may easily cause the unevenness of resources allocation and non-standardized pavement performance for all cities. The Construction and Planning Administration (CPA) is actively setting up a standardized pavement management and maintenance system for the city street network and allocating the limited sources for pavement maintenance based on the uniform evaluation procedure. The major objective of this study is to identify the main contents that shall be included in the specified pavement management system and develop the pavement network coding methodology as well as the standard procedure for pavement condition survey. The maintenance decision tree based upon the collected pavement condition data is also developed in this paper. The CPA has accepted and planned to use the developed system for trial basis in the coming years for the central evaluation and budget allocation for city street pavement networks.
