Abstract

In 1992, the Iowa DOT Pavement Management Information System (PMIS) was designed and implemented. The PMIS replaced the Iowa Pavement Management System (IPMS) that had been implemented in 1979. Based upon the interviews that were conducted with many Iowa DOT Offices so that "User Requirements" for the system could be determined, this phase of the PMIS is the "first building block" in providing better and easier access to the data that is used in the calculation of PCRs (Pavement Condition Ratings). The PCRs are used as a guide by the Office of Program Management to determine which sections of highways should be included in the five-year "Iowa Transportation Improvement Program". The SAS System was used for the design and implementation of the PMIS. The PMIS is on the mainframe computer in the Bureau of Information Services and statewide access is provided via the DOT telecommunications network.
