PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS) TRAINING

1. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(PMS) TRAINING • Definition • Levels of PMS • Components • Pavement Manager • Technical User Groups • Database Updates • Quality Control • Documentation

2. What is a Pavement Management System PMS is a tool that can be used to make informed decisions about the Maintenance and Rehabilitation of a pavement network.

3. Levels of Pavement Management • Network Level: the evaluation of all pavement under the agency’s jurisdiction. • Project Level: comes after network level, this level requires more detailed evaluation for a specific project. Such as cross-sections, topography and coring to name a few.

4. PMS Components • Inventory Data • Monitoring Data • Database • Data Analysis • System Outputs • Feedback

5. What is a “Pavement Manager” • Besides Brandi Church being the most important person in the agency, this is the person that has the responsibility for: • Collecting, Managing, Analyzing and Communicating all information pertaining to the County’s Pavement network to numerous people within county government, (PW Director\Engineer, Elected Officials, Maintenance Staff and the Public)

6. Technical User Groups • Engineering staff – project level information • Maintenance staff – identify crack seal and other defects that need to be address before rehabilitation begins • And of course the Pavement Manager(s)

7. PMS Database Updates • New Roads • Road Re-alignment – (Re-mileposting) • Maintenance History • PSC Ratings • Traffic Data Counts (aka ADT) • Pavement Width\Type Changes • Jurisdictional Change / Road Vacations

8. Quality Control Visual Data Collection – Using the Pavement Surface Condition Rating Manual for guidance. Seven (7) Core defects. • Garbage in Garbage out!! (GIGO) • Quality Control - Data entry checking 10% minimum

9. Documentation Flow Chart – tracking the process. Written Instructions – step by step detailing your agencies procedures when using the PMS software. Applications Guide – provides examples of ways to manipulate and analyze the data.

13. Jump Start your PMS • Have a meeting with Engineering, Maintenance Staff and others? • Discuss expectations • Select guidelines for extent of information to be included in the network inventory • Data collected MUST serve a purpose!! • System output requirements, spreadsheets, charts, maps, and “canned reports”

14. Mobility PMS Data Requirements • Updated Roadlog Information • Current (by WAC every 2 yrs) PSC ratings on Paved Arterials • Updated Surface History Information • ADT data (best-currently available) • Good Data provides the Best Results!!!!
