摘要: In recent years, computers have revolutionized the way in which business is conducted. In highway agencies, pavement management systems are now used for identifying, prioritizing, and selecting pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects. The results of the pavement management analysis are traditionally reported to agency management, government officials, and the public in the form of reports, newsletters, and graphics. Today's interactive CD-ROM programs are greatly affecting the way some of these traditional pavement management activities are conducted, especially in the areas of distress identification training (for determining pavement conditions) and in reporting pavement-related information. This paper discusses some of the applications of this type of technology in a state highway agency, a commercial airport, and a state division of aviation. The first example illustrates the use of interactive training tools to develop a distress identification program for pavement condition raters. The program features photographs of distresses at different severity levels, audio and video clips explaining the inspection procedure, and an assessment program to evaluate the rater's ability to distinguish between distresses. The paper also illustrates using similar technology to distribute pavement related information from a pavement management system. Using an interactive data display format, these airport agencies provide photographs of typical distresses and a summary of the condition information from the pavement management system for airport consultants and agency officials. The paper discusses the use of these new technologies and illustrates their effectiveness in the are of pavement management.
