Abstract
In Sri Lanka there are about 150,000 km of roads and among those about 75% are considered as rural low volume roads [1]. These roads are essential in community development, transport of people, goods and services in the rural areas. Most of these low volume roads would be actively contributing to our country’s economy and wellbeing by distributing the produces from rural areas to urban areas. Limited funding, subjective and ad-hoc maintenance decision making has resulted in suboptimal maintenance level for these road networks. There is no proper maintenance system available in Sri Lanka as in the foreign countries. Lack of technical expertise and shortage of human resources, equipment and funds to carryout detailed data collection and analysis makes use of existing Pavement Management Systems difficult for local road agencies. The study will be focused on developing an asset management system to manage rural and provincial road networks in Sri Lanka.
