Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the use of a computer system designed to aid the facilities engineer in managing pavement maintenance and repair. The system, called PAVER, consists of a computer data base for storage of relevant pavement information, forms for collecting data, and a set of report-generator programs to retrieve information from the data base in an organized format. Adoption of the system will help the facilities engineer achieve the following benefits: prevention of over- or undermaintenance of pavements, more efficient utilization of funds, more efficient scheduling of maintenance activities, rapid retrieval of pavement information (especially important in determining work requirements for submission to the shop or contractor), and documentation of pavement performance. Procedures are presently being developed to interface PAVER with the Integrated Facilities System (IFS). (Author).
