APPLICABILITY OF CLOSED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

With a view to examining their applicability in the German interurban (trunk) road network, an analysis was made of 18 systems, subsystems and modules for road maintenance management on offer in Germany and in neighboring countries. The upshot of the research work is that none of the comprehensive (closed) looking systems satisfy all the requirements to be made by closed management systems. However, large sections of some systems, when supplemented by other subsystems and modules, are able to yield a directly applicable closed management system of road maintenance for interurban roads. Other systems, system parts and modules - following possible adjustment to requirements - might also be up to the job.
