Abstract
Pavement management systems can assist the engineers in identifying the most appropriate treatment on selected sections of the road network through the use of economic analysis, predictive models and time-series information.
The objective of this case study was to review the Pavement Management System’s PMS of Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA).
To meet the above mentioned objective interview and reviewing of archival data at ERA head office were conducted.
From the interview and archival data, it can be concluded that Ethiopian Roads Authority was not utilizing its Pavement Management System in full capacity in order to be beneficiary from the system due to different reasons such as luck of sufficient trained staff, breakdown of data collection equipments and lack of its maintenance.
