How can a pavement management system (PMS) be presented to maximize its usefulness to pavement managers in making rehabilitation decisions? This research developed an interactive, graphical multimedia PMS called Windows ILLINET, which is a user-friendly, Windows-based software. It applies color graphics, text, and digitized video images to display current and historical pavement condition, rehabilitation information, and predicted pavement performance. It also offers multiple decision-making options. Moreover, users can be interactively involved in the decision-making procedure. The results from the research should be very valuable in the development of future PMS software. |
