Grontmij | Carl Bro has implemented the RoSy concept in a number of countries
International projects often require PMS engineers to work in the field and to do on-site training over a longer period. Often a project is divided into the following parts:
1. The development of a customised pavement management system, which will meet the requirements of the national road organisation.
2. The implementation of a customised pavement management system on a selected road network for a pilot study together with training and instruction in the use of the system.
3. Collection of geometric and condition data.
4. Provision of specialist training in economic assessment using cost-benefit analysis techniques and practical demonstration of the techniques on highway schemes.
More specific tasks on international projects are:
Establishment of a reliable network reference system on which to base pavement assessment results.
Demonstration of the use of condition data collection software and hardware and training in use of software and hardware.
Demonstration of the use of FWD and Bump Integrator equipment and training in use of the equipment.
Establishment of an effective resource organisation mean for data collection purposes.
Installation of PMS and pavement analysis using real data.
Identification of where further evaluation would be required for parameters used in the analysis process.
Training of local staff in the use of PMS and the interpretation of results.
Examples of parameters used for data analysis and interpretation:Road classes, pavement structure classes, distress types and limits, deterioration models, traffic classes, traffic growth, equivalent standard axles, vehicle operating cost data, IRI progression models, repair products, pavement products, reporting.
