Road Management System (RMS)

A Road Management System consists of several stages, beginning with system design, data collection and storage and ending with maintenance planning and budgeting. In network level surveys, it is used to justify an optimal maintenance strategy. In other words, in a network level analysis, all of the maintenance and upgrading projects are prioritized on economical and objective grounds.

To establish a Road Assets Management System is a long and demanding process, it requires commitment and training from the personnel using it. Roadscanners can arrange the training and support needed at every stage. As a reward, being committed to objective and economically feasible road maintenance, there will be considerable savings in maintenance, better road condition and a safer road network and most important of all – happier road users!

Typically RMS consists of three components: Road Data Base (RDB), Pavement Management System (PMS) and Geographical Information System (GIS).
