 INDEXES CALCULATION : unit index
•

 For each characteristic, the measure is compared to

limits and to evaluated levels of service: A for a good level
to E for a bad level

 INDEXES CALCULATION : specific index
•

Unitary indicators are crossed to obtain a specific index

When there is E level (red), works maintenance are
planned
The aim is not to have 100 % of A level

 SCHEDULING OF WORKS

Maintenance works schedule

 Indexes of level service are only used for

maintenance works plans

 Allow to « priorize » works sections but this is not

sufficient

 detailed analysis of all monitoring results is

needed

 SCHEDULING OF WORKS

Maintenance works schedule

 Prioritised sections definition

Detailed study of monitoring results

Definition of the nature of works

Evaluation of the related budget

 SCHEDULING OF WORKS

We use the indexes to follow the evolution of

level of service with time
 When there is E level (red), works
maintenance are planned

 SCHEDULING OF WORKS

The condition survey results are used to

calculate a global mark representative of the
pavement level of service
The evolution of the mark is compared to the
maintenance budget
