Abstract
Main goal of Road Network Management System is to ensure safety and continuity of road traffic on road network with low intensity and lower technical requirements. This is achieved with pavement management system (main component of road network management system). Most countries developed custom Pavement management systems (PMS) based on deterministic or probabilistic approach. Local road administrators of low level road networks often lack the software equipment such as HDM-4, RoSy, Exor, etc. These and similar PMS Most PMS, however effective, are often cumbersome, demanding in regard to energy, know-how and software equipment. The majority of local road administrators of rural road networks thus resort to non-effective reactive maintenance strategies. This article describes an easy to use method, based on predetermined maintenance repair & rehabilitation standards. Secondly, a simple method, based on road user cost, is introduced that administrator can use to prepare a list of road section eligible for repair according to their repair priority.

Main goal of Road Network Management System is to ensure safety and continuity of road traffic on road network with low intensity and lower technical requirements
The purpose of maintenance repairs and rehabilitation (MR&R) of asphalt pavements is to extend the useful life of the pavement, maintain a smooth riding surface, and prevent water from entering the underlying soil
The traffic load, condition of particular road section, volume of maintenance on this section in contrast to road administrator capabilities and others factors, all play an important part for choosing the appropriate MR&R standard
Summary
The purpose of maintenance repairs and rehabilitation (MR&R) of asphalt pavements is to extend the useful life of the pavement, maintain a smooth riding surface, and prevent water from entering the underlying soil. To keep a pavement in the best possible condition, it is important to use an effective pavement management system. Pavement management system is a subsystem of asset management It should ensure an adequate dividing of assigned funds from state budget and additional regional tax funds. These funds are very limited, sustainability principles have to be implemented so that the road network can provide the road users with socio-economic benefits. These benefits elevate the living standards of the society, which, in turn, is more prone to spending which means more taxation money.
