  1. Micro PAVERPavement Management System For City of Pittsburgh By KMS & Associates, Inc. 800 638 8040

  2. Problem • Deteriorating Pavements • More traffic, trucks, buses • Less funding available • Road materials are more costly • Useful life of materials seems shorter

  3. Answer • Do nothing(doesn't work) • Repeat last years approach(again & again) • What is the industry doing?

  4. Why Micro PAVER? Developed by the Army Corps in the late 70’s Recommended by APWA (American Public Works Association) Optimizes funds allocated for M&R Utilizes the PCI methodology PCI became an ASTM standard in 1999 Most widely used system in the world.

  5. Local Micro PAVER Users • Cincinnati (Dick Cline 513 352 6235) • Akron (Paul Barnett 330 375 2834) • Summit Co. Oh (Greg Bachman 330 643 2850 • Marietta (Joe Tucker 740 373 5495) • Washington Co. Oh (Bob Badger 740 376 7430) • Westerville ( Jeff Kessler 614 901 6669) • Franklin Co. Oh (Jaime Tickle 614 462 3839)

  6. Similarities

  7. Pavement Management • Plans, Organizes & Documents • Helps make better decisions • Provides support data for decisions • Answers what if scenarios • Objectively answers “what can be left out” • Shows the progress or lack of • Objective recommendations

  8. What is a Pavement Management System? (Micro PAVER) • Inventory • Inspection (ASTM) • Reporting • Modeling • Condition Analysis • M&R Planning

  9. Inventory • Street Name (block - to & from) • Length, width, area • Type of pavement (asphalt, concrete, etc.) • Rank (arterial, collector, residential, bus route) • Last const. date • Zones • Other Items

  10. Sections Numbered: West to East & South to North

  11. Inspections • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) • Objective • Distresses • Severity • Quantity • Feet on the ground • Data must be correct Training & Dedication is essential • Micro PAVER produces a PCI (Pavement Condition Index) 0 to 100

  12. Inspection Procedure (Alligator cracking)

  13. Reporting, Analyzing, Planning • Graphs, Bar charts, Maps • Where you are now • Where you can be • Where you will be • How to get there • Funding • Value of Preventive Maintenance

  14. $ Savings • Utilizing a Pavement Management System will save a minimum of 10 %.

  15. $1.00 for preventive maintenance here . . . $5 to $7 for Severe Maintenance Repair here… or several years of pothole patching if money is short ! Pavement Deterioration Excellent Condition Failed Age

  16. Preventive Maintenance

  17. If Only Call line & again & again Move the money spent here to here only less !! Condition Age Probably not much more than a couple of years of patching

  18. Micro PAVER Provides • A Plan that can be explained • Documentation to support the Plan • Reinspection to confirm the Plan is on track and working • Objective before and after comparisons (responsibility) • A format to test new ideas

  19. Micro PAVER vs Dump Truck (or resurfaced street) • The Micro PAVER is an investment in a new way of solving problems. • It provides the documentation to direct and justify decisions to provide savings. • This is an investment into having a better street system. • The dump truck or resurfacing is gone in several years with minimal lasting benefit for the system. vs

  20. When Funding is short • The Best decisions need to be made • Best treatment - best street - best time • More Documentation is needed for reasonable explanations • More public inquires are a certainty • Illustrations of just what is the result will provide sooner refunding • Be Proactive (something can be done)

  21. Micro PAVER can produce • A listing of Streets to be Treated in the next 3 – 5 years. • Understanding that there are variables that could modify the list (up or down). • Funding, severe weather, material costs, changing traffic patterns • The list will include: • Preventive maintenance, routine maintenance and severely deteriorated street repairs (good, fair & bad) “A Balanced Program”
