Development of Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) for an Urban Road in New Delhi, India
Pavements must be well maintained with proper utilization of maintenance funds as they are valuable national assets. Deferring pavement maintenance causes enormous financial losses and has a negative impact on the nation's growth. Simultaneous maintenance of existing roads is necessary in a timely way in addition to rapid construction of new road networks. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the state of pavements before deciding the type of maintenance needed, in order to make effective use of road maintenance funds. In the present study an Urban Road in New Delhi was assessed for its structural and functional condition to develop PMMS. The condition of the pavement has been evaluated in terms of pavement indices, such as the Pavement Condition Rating (PCR), and the Structural Capacity Index (SCI).
The deterioration of pavement with time is calculated using the deterioration models developed by CRRI in the year 1994, for Asphalt Concrete Roads in Northern India. A 15-year maintenance plan has been proposed for the selected Urban roads. In addition, a life cycle cost analysis has been performed to compare the costs under periodic and condition responsive maintenance strategies. It has been found that the condition responsive maintenance can be carried out at a cost of 4.7% less than the cost of periodic maintenance. Even though the difference in life cycle costs between periodic maintenance and condition responsive maintenance is minimal, the pavement can be maintained at level-1 or good condition under condition responsive maintenance.
