Expert project analyses in the process of road maintenance management

Abstract

An updated information system, and an appropriate decision making model, must be put in place for an efficient road maintenance management. A methodological procedure for expert project-level analyses of road maintenance and improvement activities, based on the Road Data Base (RDB) and the HDM-4 model, is presented in the paper. The procedure was successfully applied and accepted in 2012, in the scope of application for funding of road network maintenance and improvement by international financing institutions (World, Bank, EIB and EBRD).
