DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MUNICIPAL MAINTAINED ROADS AND THE INTEGRATION WITH A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM BY OLUMIDE ADEDAMOLA ADEYINKA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1992 MASTER OF SCIENCE THESIS OF OLUMIDE ADEDAMOLA ADEYINKA APPROVED: Thesis Committee Major Professor UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1992 ABSTRACT A pavement management system (PMS) is a set of tools or methods that assist decision makers in finding optimum strategies for providing and maintaining pavements in a serviceable condition over a given period of time at the least cost. Without such a routine pavement maintenance program, roads require more frequent reconstruction, thereby costing the state and local governments additional dollars. In this study, a prototype PMS for municipal maintained roads was developed for a typical township in Rhode Island, the Town of South Kingstown.
