Abstract
Each year, Canada spends $7 B i l l i o n to maintain and
r e h a b i l i t a t e the countries road network. However, the a l l o c a t i on
of the available funds i s often done on a somewhat less-thans
c i e n t i f i c basis. The development of the pavement management
system provided an e f f e c t i v e way to a l l o c a t e funds and at the same
time obtain the maximum benefits available.
This report examines the f e a s i b i l i t y of producing pavement
performance prediction curves based on the P.E.I. database
c o l l e c t e d since 1979. These curves are produced by the performance
c r i t e r i a : RCI, SAR and SDI.
Without the valuable information provided by the pavement
performance p r e d i c t i o n equations and curves, the future maintenance
schedule and the corresponding budget would not be u t i l i z e d to i t s
greatest potential.
