Developing a comprehensive pavement management system in Tehran, Iran using microPAVER.

Decision makers often decide on maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements without any systematic procedure. These kinds of arbitrary decisions do not usually guarantee the effectiveness of budget allocation and cannot supply the maintenance needs of a network. A Pavement Management System is able...
