Pavement Management System Investigation in Case of Afghanistan
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2019, Vol 40, Issue 1
Abstract
Afghanistan is encountering a massive compete in arrangement of old infrastructure. Specially for roads structure, it is found that many roads pavements built 30 to 40 years ago and now it is the end of their life. Other roads had been deteriorated because of misuse, overuse and mismanagement and also after more than 3 decades of conflict Afghanistan encountered keen challenges in rehabilitation and reconstruction of the roads. In addition, present and future threats influence the wished mission of these pavements for fast, safe and comfort transportation of people and goods. Moreover, the current management shows that the system is being used now is not flexible enough to consider on the changing conditions and is poor to assist in making decisions.This study aims to initiate a Pavement Management System by providing an organized procedure of maintaining, reconstructing, and operating the roads pavements and to utilize in a better flexible strategy that can enable this research to perform better tasks, more economically, higher quality and do it such a manner to achieve a desired result.A system has been also presented to help and make easier the decision making process. It is Micro PAVER pavement software. Micro PAVER is a Pavement Management System developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Micro PAVER provides pavement management capabilities to:· Organize and develop the pavement list.· Analyze the running condition of pavements.· Develop methods to forecast future conditions report on past and future pavement execution; and· Develop plots for pavement maintenance based on condition needs or budget. Therefore, in order to have a good management system, this system will be preferred which provide an organized method of maintenance, reconstruction and operation of the roads pavements. And the system will be flexible enough and assists in making decisions.
