Overview

Background & policy context:

Systematic action planning is a central and crucial process within the management of road maintenance. It demonstrates for a given observation period at what time which
interventions for road maintenance are to be performed in order to attain the best costbenefit ratio with the given financial resources. The fundamentals for this planning and
optimising task have been compiled for Switzerland within the research package VSS 2004/710-716.

Objectives:

The research project has the following goals:

• Development of performance curves (shape and cyclic development) for structural surface distress, roughness, rutting, skid resistance and bearing capacity in relation to traffic loads and local influencing factors for different standardised maintenance and rehabilitation treatments.

• Preparation of a draft standard.
