Pavement management systems (PMS) have been in use since 1975. Most US states and many of the world’s countries including Chile use PMS. A Maintenance Management System (MMS) is the set of data and computer tools that make it possible for an agency to track its assets and apply its maintenance funds correctly and effectively for all its assets.
A new formulation of a multi-year, multi-constraint, network-scale pavement management system methodology is described and compared with the year-by-year multi-constraint technique.
