Abstract :The aim of the study is to develop Pavement Maintenance Management System insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PMMS); for four road sections of urban road network insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Patiala, Punjab, India); using Highway Development and Management insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HDM-4); model. The HDM-4 provides a deterministic approach in data input and process data of existing road condition, traffic volume and pavement composition to predict road deterioration as per the urban road conditions in terms of International Roughness Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IRI); value. This study presents the use of HDM-4 model for the computation of optimum Maintenance and Rehabilitation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M&R); strategy for each road section and comparative study of scheduled and condition responsive M&R strategies. The results of present study will be useful for gaining better support for decision-makers for adequate and timely fund allocations for preservation of the urban road network.
