Road Maintenance Management Concepts and Systems

This book provides an up-to-date description of road maintenance management. Written primarily from a management perspective, it provides new insights into the relationship between the various functions involved in managing a modern road network. It has been developed based on the experience of project work in this field carried out in a number of countries. The text provides a framework for considering aspects of management, such as policy formulation, network considerations, staff responsibilities, level of data detail, cost estimating methods, and others, that relate to four basic management functions: planning, programming, preparation, and operations.
