The conference objective was to enhance effectiveness and efficiency in managing pavements for roads, streets, airfields, and other paved areas. The conference provided an opportunity for executives, practitioners, and researchers to share and evaluate recent experiences with pavement management systems. It addressed the benefits of implementation, the effects of support for decision making, advances in the state of the art and in technology, and the need for future development. The conference, conducted over three and one-half days, included formal paper presentations, workshops, and optional tutorials. The conference addressed the following themes: Appropriate Systems; Implementation Issues; Institutional Issues; Managing Information; Analytical Issues; and New Frontiers. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains additional papers presented at the plenary and workshop sessions.

This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators; pavement management system (PMS), maintenance, and computer engineers; and technologists involved with data collection and computer programming for the purposes of a PMS. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to pavement management methodologies to select projects and recommend preservation treatments. This report of the Transportation Research Board also describes the predominant pavement management methodologies being used by U.S. state and Canadian provincial transportation agencies; provides a general description of each methodology; and summarizes the requirements, benefits, hindrances, and constraints associated with each. It includes a review of domestic literature and a survey of current practices in North America. In addition, case studies are included to illustrate the use of these methodologies within transportation agencies. Operational and soon-to-be implemented technologies are also discussed, and an extensive bibliography is provided for further reference.
