Summary: | In this paper, the fundamental characteristics of PaveM—the pavement management system for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is introduced first, together with the various beta-testing efforts to validate and customize the engineering configuration of the software. The implementation of PaveM to support the development of the pavement asset ten-year management plan is then described. The tools and methods implemented to facilitate total investment determination and individual project evaluation and selection are presented in detail. In the end, lessons learned and future initiatives are presented. Keywords: Pavement, Pavement Management System, Implementation
