Condition related distribution key for asset maintenance funds.
Agenda
Introduction: Structure of expenditures on
roads and methods for allocation of
maintenance resources
Pavement condition as a key figure in
asset management
Allocation of maintenance resources
depending on pavement condition in
Poland and in Germany
Slawomir Heller
The art of drawing up a budget is to
spread the disappointments evenly.

Functions of asset condition data in
asset management
- Short-term and long-term determination of
maintenance requirements
- Detecting (selecting) sections with
immediate maintenance needs
- Efficiency verification of technologies and
construction materials
- Controlling of single maintenance
treatments and maintenance programs
- Basis for the determination of
a distribution key for asset
maintenance funds

Germany and Poland in Europe
Slawomir Heller
Transport infrastructure is a key element for
the economic growth and development in all
states of European Union.
Different general conditions of asset
management in Europe states
New member states of the EU (transition
economies) need to enhance and modernize
their infrastructure.
Old member states need to modernize, renew
and maintain the existing infrastructure

Peculiarity of German road
authorities

The ownership of the Federal
Road Network lies with the
German Federation.

The responsibility for
maintaining and expanding the
network has been transferred
to the Federal States.

pavement condition in Poland
- Since 1989 System for the Assessment of
Pavement Condition (SOSN). Measurements of
features for asphalt pavements: longitudinal
and transversal evenness, grip, surface distress.
- Since 2006 System for the Assessment of
Shoulders and Road Drainage Components
(SOPO).

Conclusions
Slawomir Heller
Inadequate appreciation of maintenance,
conflicts between investment and
maintenance projects.
Increasing maintenance backlog.
Pavement condition data is essential for a
reasonable distribution of maintenance
funds.
Both allocation methods: optimization and
distribution key can be applied.
