Pavement Management System

A Pavement Management System (PMS) is a structured approach used by transportation agencies to plan, evaluate, and maintain roadways efficiently. It collects data on pavement conditions, traffic, and maintenance history, then analyzes this information to determine the best times and methods for repairs or replacement. The goal is to optimize budget use, extend pavement life, and ensure safe, smooth driving conditions. Essentially, it helps keep roads in good shape through informed decision-making, balancing costs and performance over time.
