A pavement management system (PMS) is a strategic and systematic process to maintain and upgrade the road network. When funding is limited, it is very important to identify the best mix of road preservation projects that provides the maximum benefits to society in terms of overall life cycle cost of the road network. The most common factors that play an important role for identifying projects are the following: budget, traffic volume, Present Serviceability Index (PSI) and risk associated with selecting treatment types. This research develops an optimisation methodology for county paved roads that identify the best mix of preservation projects within budget, maximising traffic (passengers and trucks traffic) on treated roads, maximising the weighted average PSI, and minimising the risk. This methodology will facilitate a statewide implementation of PMS for counties in the state of Wyoming.
