Introduction to Pavement Management System

Course Faculty: Paul Sachs

1.4 CEUs/14 PDHs/14 PDHs

A comprehensive pavement management system (PMS) is the key to better reconstruction, restoration and maintenance decision making. An operating PMS provides agency management with the ability to better plan and manage highway, street, and road pavements

This two-day course is designed as an introduction for those new to pavement management and as a refresher for those with more experience in the field. Some of the topics covered in the course include pavement management basics, federal and state guidelines, and how to implement a pavement management system.

Participants will have an opportunity to work on workshop modules throughout the course. These "How to" modules will cover such activities as "How to break a pavement network into manageable segments;" "How to set up a pavement condition survey;" and "How to develop a pavement management presentation to a city or county policy board." At the conclusion of the course, participants will have the information needed to successfully implement a pavement management system.
