The Concept of Functional Road Condition Management

Abstract

Currently, there is the practical reliability of roads in terms of safety, durability, maintainability, operability and other important consumer properties of the groups of providing of significant speed, continuity, convenience and traffic safety. These include throughput and traffic load, permissible axle load, total weight and dimensions of cars permitted for the movement, the level of road service, ecological, ergonomic and aesthetic properties of the road. All of these are inferior to the benchmark reliability and other important consumer properties of roads of the advanced world countries. A new concept for the functional management of reliability and other most important consumer properties of domestic roads are proposed. The concept is focused on the management of these indicators of reliability and other most important consumer properties of domestic roads in order to ensure their values. They are not lower than the levels of values of reliability indicators and other major consumer properties of advanced world countries. The concept is based on the fundamental fragments of the proposed typical technical project for an automated control system.
