What is an Airport Pavement Management System?

• Discussed in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5380-7A
• A system which identifies optimum strategies to
  maintain pavements at an adequate level of
  serviceability
• Includes systematic procedures for scheduling
  maintenance and rehabilitation activities
• Optimizes benefits while minimizing cost

3
History of Airport Pavement Management Systems
(APMS)

• Development of Mainframe PAVER was started in
  1968 for use on mainframe computers
• Development was by the USACE for use by the
  Department of Defense (DOD)
• Development of MicroPAVER was started in 1985
  -funding was provided by the FAA for development
  by the ACOE
• FAA version of MicroPAVER was delivered in 1987
• FAA PAVEAIR web-based APMS released on Feb 10,
  2011

Benefits of an Airport Pavement Management
System

• Provides an objective and consistent evaluation
  of the condition of a network of pavements
• Provides a systematic and documentable
  engineering basis for determining maintenance and
  rehabilitation needs
• Identifies budget requirements necessary to
  maintain pavements at various levels of
  serviceability
• Provides documentation on the present and future
  condition of the pavements in a network
• Determines life-cycle costs for various
  maintenance and rehabilitation alternatives
• Identifies the impact on the pavement network as
  a result of performing no major repairs

5
Pavement Management Programs Must Include

• Pavement Inventory
• Location, type of pavement, dimensions,
  construction date
• Inspection Schedule
• Detailed inspection must be performed at least
  once a year
• Drive-by inspection must be performed a minimum
  of once per month
• Record Keeping
• Inspection date, location, distress types,
  maintenance scheduled or performed
• Information Retrieval
• Program Funding

6
FAA PAVEAIR

• FAA PAVEAIR Pavement Management System
• Publicly available and free to use (source code
  available)
• Databases can be made public or private
• Includes similar functionality found in
  MicroPAVER version 5.3
• Web-based
• Access though the Internet, Intranet, or a
  stand-alone PC

7
Development

• Development was started in May 2008
• The development and testing contractor is SRA
  International
• FAA PAVEAIR has been developed from the ground
  up as a new application

8
Development

• Program Requirements
• The FAA is hosting a server installed at the
  WJHTC to be a repository for civil airport
  projects funded under the Airport Improvement
  Program (AIP).
• The complete application is available for free
  download
• As a set of installation files.
• Full source code.
• Documentation for installation and operation.

9
Development

• Import Databases
• Compatible with MicroPAVER.
• Able to import Micro Paver e60 file.
• Able to import Micro Paver MDB file.
• Import Steps
• Data is uploaded into PDMSPaverImport.
• Data is converted and temporarily stored in
  PaverToPDMS.
• Data is then copied to a new PAVEAIR database.

• COMPATIBILITY
• WITH EXISTING
• MICROPAVER
• DATA

10
Development

• FAA PAVEAIR has been developed using ASTM D
  5340, Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement
  Condition Index Surveys
• Another valuable reference has been the
  currently out of print FAA Advisory Circular
  FAA-RD-80-55, Procedure for Condition Survey of
  Civil Airports
• The first release of FAA PAVEAIR has the same
  functionality of MicroPAVER version 5.3

11
Development

• Program Requirements
• Web-based application
• that provides a system for easy dissemination of
  information for airport pavement construction,
  maintenance, and management.
• Data for multiple airports available on a single
  server connected to the web
• Suitable for installation and use on
• Single PC
• Private network
• Intranet or Internet.

12
