AIRFIELD PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF TECHNICAL AND OPERATING FACILITY

Abstract

The article explores an overview of APMS to understand its successful implementation. Once an airport pavement has been opened to traffic, proper maintenance and rehabilitation work is essential to maintain the pavement's functionality at a satisfactory level and extend its service life. Maintenance and restoration-reconstruction strategies were tentatively based on the empirical and subjective judgments of airport administration employees. This required a systematic method of performing maintenance and restoration-reconstruction works, i.e. the Airport Pavement Management System (APMS). Some APMS subsystems have been developed through the exchange of ideas, information and resources and are entering practical use. Based on various airport pavement studies, such as surface condition assessment studies, structural evaluations, failure and serviceability predictions, and maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, design, assessment and rehabilitation procedures have been developed that form the subsystems of the complete APMS. The maintenance and recovery subsystem of the airport pavement management system consists of three phases: the inspection and maintenance phase, the reliability evaluation phase, and the recovery optimization phase.
