A.P.M.S. – Airport Pavement Management System – specificamente contestualizzato in aeroporti a traffico stagionale
type: CreativeWork
description: The Pavement Management System is a useful tool for operators and managers providing a systematic and objective method for pavement condition evaluation, maintenance planning decisions and budget allocation. Also for Airports, it represents a support to improve the decision-making process allowing the prediction of the pavements’ condition in future years depending on the evolution of the traffic and allowing a feedback of past applications. The high seasonality airports peculiarity is that there are ten times and over more movements in the peak season. This aspect consist in a severe time reduction due to the strong increase of traffic in the peak season with only strictly necessary and no longer be postponed maintenance actions allowed, then bringing up the question of construction techniques and material selection, maintenance planning and monitoring techniques. In this research this aspects were analyzed and some applications aimed to solve the issues encountered are proposed. The work also focused the attention on the pavement condition evaluation, especially at Network Level, with operators faced with low budget availability and looking for easy and rapid management and comparison of available data. An application of the developed framework was conducted on a Sardinian airport with the peak of traffic in the summer season, from June to September.
