Course Contents
The Infrastructure Management System (IMS) adopts an objective and systematic approach to create optimal maintenance/improvement priority programs within a limited existing budget that will yield the highest gains. This system assists road managers in making better use of the available limited budget for road improvements and minimizes individual discretion in decision-making. This course aims to teach the establishment of a sample IMS suitable for the conditions in our country, using the data collected based on measurements, to determine when deteriorations in the superstructure of highways will occur with the help of models.
