Pavement management systems (PMS) was developed to manage pavement network asset inventories, collect condition data, predict performance for various management decisions and report the results to support decision-making needed to meet performance and cost objectives.
AgileAssets Pavement Analyst™ is a fully functional PMS designed to help users manage the pavement network effectively. The software assists decision-makers in the process of managing pavement networks and comes with the following four out-of-box data sets (Roadway (Asset Inventory, Pavement Condition, Traffic, and Pavement Structure (Construction History).
Because datasets usually come from separate areas of the organization and are typically collected/measured using different criteria, one major component of the system is to provides methods for summarizing and aggregating these disparate data sources. This summarization/aggregation process produces “master files,” which serve as the basis for all data analysis within the system. Once the master files are produced, the system allows two basic types of data analysis.
Roadway Inventory is for storing various roadway characteristics and their locations, such as Functional Class, Number of Lanes, Lane Width, Shoulder Width, etc. Click Here for Pavement Management System Basic Exercises
The objective of this lesson is for the participant to understand how to access to the Roadway Inventory window. At the end of this lesson, the user should be able to successfully log into the system and open the Roadway Inventory window. |

In this example, we open the Roadway Inventory window by following the steps below:
Roadway Inventory window
Describes the condition of the road, usually coming from the Pavement Condition Survey. It also stores the annual pavement condition survey results and their locations, such as IRI, Rutting, Faulting, Cracking, etc. Out of the box, the table is named PMS_AUTOMATED_CONDITION_SURVEY, and the corresponding window is located under Pavement Analyst > Asset Performance > Automated Condition Survey > Automated Condition Survey Data menu.
The Traffic Data window provides information on traffic volume of each road, usually collected at intersections and in the form of annual average daily traffic (AADT) and truck percentages, etc. Out of the box, the table is named PMS_TRAFFIC, and the corresponding window is located under Pavement Analyst > Asset Inventory > Traffic > Traffic Data menu.
The objective of this lesson is for the participant to understand how to access to the Traffic Data window. At the end of this lesson, the user should be able to successfully log into the system and open the Traffic Data window. |

In this example, we open the Traffic Data window by following the steps below:
Traffic Data window
The Graph View shows data from a section data table (such as traffic) along a particular road section.
The window used for the Graph View contains the following elements:
The objective of this lesson is for the participant to understand how to access to the Traffic Graph window and review existing data. At the end of this lesson, the user should be able to open the Roadway Inventory window and view graphical data. |

In this example, we open the Traffic Graph window and select a record to display its data and graphical details by following the steps below:
