Road management systems (RMSs) are used to assist in assessing the current and future needs for maintenance, rehabilitation, upgrading and geometric improvements of the country's road networks. RMSs are essentially planning aids to management, and the paper concentrates on the systems for planning at the network level. Besides the principal subsystems of RMSs, i.e., pavement management systems, unpaved roads management systems, maintenance management systems and geometric management systems, there are also auxiliary systems which consider traffic, accidents and geometry. Great progress has been made in the development of RMS techniques and their implementation over the last few years. The need for management systems is generally accepted and the feasibility of a road authority being able to operate them is now clear.
