MACEA-MERCADO, Luis Fernando; MORALES, Luis  e  MARQUEZ-DIAZ, Luis Gabriel. A Pavement Management System Based on New Technologies for Developing Countries. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.2, pp.223-235.  Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 2594-0732.

The rapid growth of science and technology has led to the development of increasingly accurate solutions to the various problems facing modern society. In pavement management processes, it is possible to develop enabling technologies for functional assessment of pavements. This article proposes and discusses the implementation of a system for developing countries, which is based on new technologies which facilitate the collection and analysis of information for pavement management processes with low cost and reasonable time duration. The proposed system uses a vehicle equipped with components that automate the registration and geographic location of pavement damages and generate maps of road deterioration through WEB platforms, which can be used to support policy decisions on road infrastructure investment.
