Road Asset Management System is aimed at assisting the Government agencies as well as the private concessionaires in developing a systematic and efficient process of managing the road assets. In addition to collecting road condition data and providing a seamless experience in accessing up to date information on the condition of the road assets, it provides tools to facilitate a more organized and logical approach to both short term and long term planning of maintenance and management to ensure that the road infrastructure facility meets the expectations of safe, efficient and economical movement of people and goods. In India, the road network is predominately government-owned. The agencies responsible for the road infrastructure must periodically collect performance data, analyze the data, maintain, operate, improve, replace and preserve this road asset by adopting the policy of ‘right pavement to be maintained at the right time by the right treatment’. At the same time, the financial and human resources needed to achieve the performance objectives of the road network are scarce and must be managed carefully.

The symposium will address the issues, challenges, and opportunities for road asset management in India.

Who should participate: Post graduate students, Research Scholars, Academicians, Working professionals interested in roads, highways, pavement maintenance and asset management.
