ABSTRACT
Maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) of pavements should ideally be conducted through the use of pavement management, which can ensure the optimum use of tax dollars through the selection and use of the most cost-effective design, construction, and rehabilitation strategy. Pavement management involves all activities regarding the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of pavements. It is based on the pavement management system (PMS), which consists of a set of tools or methods that help pavement managers to plan for constructing and maintaining highway or airport pavements in a serviceable condition over a given period of time.
