  1. PAVEAIR Web-Based Airport Pavement Management System IPMS Summit, Singapore Gordon Hayhoe, FAA Airport Technology R&D Branch October 8, 2008

  2. Outline • FAA sponsorship of airport pavement data management software applications and relationship with other software applications. • Development, specifications, and current status of a new Web-based airport pavement data management system called PAVEAIR. • Problem with computing PCN for large international airports. • Integration of pavement design and evaluation software applications.

  3. FAA Sponsored Pavement Management Systems • Development of Mainframe PAVER was started in 1968 for use on mainframe computers. • Development was by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for use by the Department of Defense (DOD). • Development of MicroPAVER was started in 1985 for use on microcomputers. • Funding was by the FAA and development by the ACOE.

  4. History of PAVER, cont. • Delivered in 1987, the FAA version of MicroPAVER had the following functions: • Divide airport pavements into uniform sections to comply with the existing FAA pavement management Advisory Circular. • Store the pavement condition history in accordance with the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. • Store pavement construction and maintenance history. • Store deflectometer test results for overlay design. • Generate network level reports for planning, budgeting, inspection scheduling, and pavement condition at any time. • Provide project level analysis for maintenance and repair (M&R) requirements and perform economic analyses for different M&R alternatives.

  5. AC 150/5380-7A Requires PMS Software

  6. PAVEAIR Background • A joint initiative between the FAA and the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) to develop a system for sharing information to optimize the expenditure of funds. • An Internet (Web) based system was deemed to be the best option considering the mature status of web-based applications.

  7. PAVEAIR Background • The FAA also has a need for system-wide dissemination and analysis of the performance of FAA sponsored pavement projects. • A collection of airport pavement design and evaluation computer programs has also been developed and a dedicated PMS software application would tie these programs together.

  33. PAVEAIR Point of Contact • Albert Larkin FAA Airport Technology R & D Branch AJP-6312, Building 296 William J. Hughes Technical Center Atlantic City, NJ 08405 Phone: (609) 485-5552 Email: albert.larkin@faa.gov

  34. ACN-PCN • ACN is Aircraft Classification Number. • ICAO requires that aircraft manufacturers publish ACN charts for all of their aircraft. • PCN is Pavement Classification Number • If the ACN of a particular aircraft is larger than the PCN of an airfield pavement then the aircraft must operate at reduced load or at reduced traffic level.

  35. ACN-PCN is an ICAO Standard

  36. AC 150/5335-5A Methodology • The procedure for computing PCN on rigid pavements given in AC 150/5335-5A sometimes gives unreasonable PCN values when the aircraft mix contains: • A large number of narrow body aircraft (737, A320, etc.). • A relatively small number of new large wide bodies such as the Boeing 777-300 ER. • The procedure tends to produce a PCN for one of the narrow bodies as the critical aircraft, indicating that the wide body operations should be restricted.

  37. ACN-PCN Working Group • A small working group is currently working on trying to modify the procedure for computing PCN. • It is intended to widen the scope of the working group next year to provide a review body and an implementation body. • Points of contact for more information are: • Rodney Joel, FAA AAS-100, rodney.joel@faa.gov. • Ken DeBord, Boeing Commercial Airplane Co., Kenneth.J.DeBord@boeing.com.

  38. Procedure for Computing PCN 1) Identify pavement features and properties. 2) Determine traffic mixture. 3) Convert traffic to equivalent traffic of “critical”airplane (very time consuming). 4) Determine maximum allowable operating weight of the critical airplane (time consuming). 5) Determine the ACN of the critical airplane at its maximum allowable weight. 6) Report PCN.

  39. Modifications to COMFAA • Added a batch mode for computing the design thickness for all airplanes in the mix. • Added an alternative cumulative damage factor procedure for finding equivalent departures to replace the current ratio-of-wheel-loads procedure in AC 150/5320-6D. • Automated the computation of equivalent traffic of the critical airplane. • Automated the computation of the maximum allowable load. • Improved the external file functions.
